Abstract:
We have carried out a major survey for visual binaries toward the
Orion Nebula Cluster, using images obtained with the Advanced Camera
for Surveys on the Hubble Space Telescope through an Halpha filter.
From 1051 stars more than 60" from theta1 Ori C, we have selected
781 that fulfill the criteria for membership in the Orion Nebula
Cluster. Among these, we find 78 multiple systems (75 binaries and 3
triples), of which 55 are new discoveries, in the range from 0.1" to
1.5". We perform a statistical study of the 72 binaries and 3 triples
that have separations in the limited range 0.15" to 1.5", within which
we need no incompleteness correction.
Description:
The present survey is based on our recent study of the Orion Nebula
using the Wide Field Channel of the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS)
onboard HST. During program GO-9825, we observed 26 ACS fields with
the F658N (Hα+[NII]) filter and an exposure time of 500s per pointing.
