最新的T型和Y型棕矮星的二进制统计是稀疏的,目前还不清楚在它们更大质量的对应物的多重性中看到的趋势是否适用于最冷的棕矮星。我们目前的结果,从寻找亚恒星和行星质量的同伴,以12个超冷T8-Y 0领域的褐矮星的样本与theHubble太空望远镜/宽视场相机3。我们没有发现任何证据,解决我们的样品中的二进制同伴分离0.7-2.5 Au。结合我们的调查与先前的搜索,我们放置了一些第一个统计上强大的限制,迄今为止在该领域的最酷,质量最低的褐矮星的多重性。考虑到观测偏差和不完整性,我们得出了在1.5-1000 Au的距离上,T5-Y 0褐矮星的双星频率为%,总的双星比例为8 ± 6%。将投影分离建模为对数正态分布,我们发现分离峰的对数宽度为。我们推断一个质量比分布峰值强烈走向统一,与幂律指数,加强检测的意义更紧密,更高的质量比同伴人口周围较低的质量小学。这些结果与以前的研究是一致的,并支持在银河系领域的光谱类型的减少二进制频率的想法。
Binary statistics of the latest-type T and Y brown dwarfs are sparse and it is unclear whether the trends seen in the multiplicity properties of their more massive counterparts hold for the very coolest brown dwarfs. We present results from a search for substellar and planetary-mass companions to a sample of 12 ultracool T8–Y0 field brown dwarfs with theHubble Space Telescope/Wide Field Camera 3. We find no evidence for resolved binary companions among our sample down to separations of 0.7–2.5 au. Combining our survey with prior searches, we place some of the first statistically robust constraints to date on the multiplicity properties of the coolest, lowest mass brown dwarfs in the field. Accounting for observational biases and incompleteness, we derive a binary frequency ofper cent for T5–Y0 brown dwarfs at separations of 1.5–1000 au, for an overall binary fraction offtot= 8 ± 6 per cent. Modelling the projected separation as a lognormal distribution, we find a peak in separation atau with a logarithmic width of. We infer a mass ratio distribution peaking strongly towards unity, with a power-law index of, reinforcing the significance of the detection of a tighter and higher mass ratio companion population around lower mass primaries. These results are consistent with prior studies and support the idea of a decreasing binary frequency with spectral type in the Galactic field.
