We have constructed volume-limited samples of wide binaries in the Hipparcos Catalogue Double and Multiple Systems Annex (DMSA, Section C), out to distances of 100 pc and 200 pc. We study the distribution of linear separations for these samples of binaries. We find that they closely follow Öpik’s distribution in the interval of separations between about 10 and 800 AU (for the 100 pc sample), and between 15 and 1400 AU (for the 200 pc sample)

Resumen

Resumen

Se han construído muestras de volumen limitado para las binarias abiertas del Anexo de Estrellas Dobles y Múltiples del Catálogo Hipparcos (DMSA, Sección C) hasta distancias de 100 pc y 200 pc. Hemos estudiado la distribución de las separaciones lineales para dichas muestras. Se ha encontrado que se ajustan a una distribución muy próxima a la distribución de Öpik para separaciones comprendidas entre 10 y 800 UA (muestra de 100 pe) y entre 15 y 1400 UA (muestra de 200 pc).
