The Close Binary Fraction of Solar-type Stars Is Strongly Anticorrelated with Metallicity by Moe, Maxwell, Kratter, Kaitlin M., Badenes, Carles

“…There is now strong evidence that the close binary fraction (P < 104 days; a < 10 au) of solar-type stars (M1 0.6-1.5 ) decreases significantly with…”

Dynamical Formation of Close Binaries during the Pre-main-sequence Phase by Moe, Maxwell, Kratter, Kaitlin M.

“…Solar-type binaries with short orbital periods ( days; a 0.1 au) cannot form directly via fragmentation of molecular clouds or protostellar disks, yet their…”

On the Mass Function, Multiplicity, and Origins of Wide-orbit Giant Planets by Wagner, Kevin, Apai, Dániel, Kratter, Kaitlin M.

“…A major outstanding question regarding the formation of planetary systems is whether wide-orbit giant planets form differently than close-in giant planets. We…”
