The period distribution of eclipsing and spectroscopic binary systems, II

Abstract: A statistical analysis of the period distribution for eclipsing and spectroscopic binary systems, based on the spectral types of the components, shows several common features between the two independent samples. The similarity is increased if the geometrical selection effect on the eclipsing binary sample is eliminated by means of the method described in previous papers. The period distribution becomes broader (and probably nonunimodal) for advanced spectral types. Analysis of the mean separation of systems as… Show more

“…This is possibly due to red giants, which cannot be in short period systems. This possibility is problematic since it contradicts the unimodal results of previous period distribution studies (Farinella et al 1979;Antonello et al 1980;Duquennoy & Mayor 1991). In addition, figure 11 shows that with additional filtrations, the grouping of systems around the 100-day period is greatly reduced.…”

“…Eclipsing binaries are important tools for investigating stellar parameters, but with periods and eclipse-depths taken as provided by Nature. Some pioneering statistics for the perioddistributions for eclipsing binaries of different types were given by Farinella & Paolicchi (1978) and Antonello et al (1980), but the distribution of the eclipse-depths has less often been studied in its own right. An important reason is that such statistics are very incomplete.…”
