Multiplicity in Early Stellar Evolution

چکیده
Many reviews have been written on pre-main-sequence binaries over the past 25 years, e.g., Reipurth (1988), Zinnecker (1989), Mathieu (1994), and Goodwin (2010), and particular mention should be made of IAU Symposium No. 200 (Zinnecker and Mathieu, 2001), which is still today a useful reference. Most recently, Duchêne and Kraus (2013) review the binarity for stars of all masses and ages. Stimulated by the growing discoveries of multiple systems among young stars, there is increasing interest in the idea, first formulated by Larson (1972), that all stars may

Stellar Populations in the Central Galaxies of Fossil Groups
It is inferred from the symmetrical and luminous X-ray emission of fossil groups that they are mature, relaxed galaxy systems. Cosmological simulations and observations focusing on their dark halo and inter-galactic medium properties confirm their early formation. Recent photometric observations suggest that, unlike the majority of non-fossil brightest group galaxies (BGGs), the central early-t...
متن کاملA Catalog of Multiplicity among Bright Stellar Systems
We consider the multiplicity of stellar systems with (combined) magnitude brighter than 6.00 in Hipparcos magnitudes. We identify 4559 such bright systems (including the Sun), and the frequencies of multiplicities 1, 2, . . . , 7 are found to be 2718, 1437, 285, 86, 20, 11 and 2. We discuss the uncertainties, which are substantial. We also consider the distributions of periods of orbits and sub...
متن کاملNot Alone: Tracing the Origins of Very Low Mass Stars and Brown Dwarfs Through Multiplicity Studies
The properties of multiple stellar systems have long provided important empirical constraints for star formation theories, enabling (along with several other lines of evidence) a concrete, qualitative picture of the birth and early evolution of normal stars. At very low masses (VLM; M . 0.1 M⊙), down to and below the hydrogen burning minimum mass, our understanding of formation processes is not...
متن کاملInfluence of Stellar Multiplicity on Planet Formation. Iv. Adaptive Optics Imaging of Kepler Stars with Multiple Transiting Planet Candidates
The Kepler mission provides a wealth of multiple transiting planet systems (MTPSs). The formation and evolution of multi-planet systems are likely to be influenced by companion stars given the abundance of multiple stellar systems. We study the influence of stellar companions by measuring the stellar multiplicity rate of MTPSs. We select 138 bright (KP < 13.5) Kepler MTPSs and search for stella...
متن کاملOpen questions in the study of population III star formation
The first stars were key drivers of early cosmic evolution. We review the main physical elements of the current consensus view, positing that the first stars were predominantly very massive. We continue with a discussion of important open questions that confront the standard model. Among them are uncertainties in the atomic and molecular physics of the hydrogen and helium gas, the multiplicity ...
