Exploring Thousands of Nearby Hierarchical Systems with Gaia and Speckle Interferometry
There should be about 10,000 stellar hierarchical systems within 100 pc with primary stars more massive than 0.5 M _⊙ , and a similar amount of less-massive hierarchies. A list of 8000 candidate multiples is derived from wide binaries found in the Gaia Catalog of Nearby Stars where one or both compo...
