Binary Formation: Theory vs. Observation
How do we think most Binaries form? Fragmentation? What can we obser ve to give us clues?

What are Popular Pairing Algorithms? Fragmentation?

What can we obser ve for constraint?

Mass-Ratio Distribution: жpik's Law
Observed binary mass-ratio distribution is often `fitted' with a power law: жpik's Law: f(q) ~ q
q = Msecondary/Mpri

Equal-mass favoured

Unequal-mass favoured Primary Mass (Mprim)

Flat

Often stated as a function of Primary Mass
q = Msec / Mprim (Raghavan et al. 2010) (DuchЙne & Kraus 2013)

Maximum-Likelihood & Kolmogorov-Smirnov
Which pairing algorithm and generating жpik-produces simulated mass-ratio statistics consistent with observation?
Maximum Likelihood Fit: What mass-ratio power law best describes the simulated population? Is it consistent with observed?

Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test: Are the two populations (simulated & observed) drawn from the same distribution?

N.B. Universal input can result in new and mass-dependent !


Which Mechanism is Ruled Out?


Random Pairing and Primar y-Constrained Random Pairing cannot reproduce observed mass-ratio statistics for solar-type stars Capture is probably not the main channel of binary formation! Should not use RP to simulate realistic binary pop! PCP and SCP can both reproduce Raghavan+10's observation, but require (gen) ~ (obs) Future Work:
Compare simulation w/ observation in more mass ranges! Vary the IMF (and I-Core-F) and minimal stellar mass accepted to include BDs Consider observational biases Investigate more, physically-motivated binary pairing mechanisms! Incorporate generating binary fraction into simulation and compare with binary rate statistics
