Stellar companions of (C)TOIs

A total of 124 binary and 7 hierarchical triple star systems were detected among 2175 targets, whose multiplicity was investigated in the course of our survey, which are located at distances closer than about 500 pc around the Sun.

The detected companions and the targets are located at the same distance and share a common proper motion, as expected for components of gravitationally bound stellar systems, as proven with their accurate Gaia EDR3 astrometry. The companions have masses in the range between about 0.09 and 2.5M_{sun}_ and are most frequently found in the mass range between 0.15 and 0.8M_{sun}_. The companions exhibit projected separations to the targets between about 50 to 9700au and their frequency is the highest and constant up to about 500au, while it decreases for larger projected separations.
