Duplicity Among Young Stars in Chamaeleon
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
We present infrared imaging results of young stars in Cha I and II clouds that show either extended structure or a nearby neighboring star. Both regions appear to show high incidence rates of pairs. After excluding possible background stars, as judged from their brightness, color, or the local stellar surface number density, a frequency of 10% is deduced for binaries in Cha I with separations 2-5″, which is comparable to that in Taurus and to that of main sequence field stars.
