Stellar companions of (C)TOIs

In total, 107 binary, 5 hierarchical triple star systems, as well as one quadruple system were detected among 585 targets surveyed, which are all located at distances closer than about 500pc around the Sun.

As proven with their accurate Gaia EDR3 astrometry, the companions and the targets are located at the same distance and share a common proper motion, as it is expected for components of gravitationally bound stellar systems. The companions exhibit masses in the range between about 0.09M_{sun}_ and 4.5M_{sun}_ and are most frequently found in the mass range between 0.15 and 0.6M_{sun}_. The companions are separated from the targets by about 120 up to 9500au and their frequency is the highest and constant within about 500au while it continually decreases for larger separations.
