Tracing the Origins of Mass Segregation in M35: Evidence for Primordially Segregated Binaries

Tracing the Origins of Mass Segregation in M35: Evidence for Primordially Segregated Binaries

M35 is a young open cluster and home to an extensive binary population. Using Gaia Data Release 3, Pan-STARRS, and Two Micron All Sky Survey photometry with the Bayesian statistical software, BASE-9, we derive precise cluster parameters, identify single and binary cluster members, and extract their...
