The Separation Distribution of Ultrawide Binaries across Galactic Populations
Haijun Tian
We have compiled an extensive catalog of candidate wide binaries selected from Gaia DR2 in the solar neighborhood with distances $d<4$~kpc, following a procedure similar to that of El-Badry & Rix(2018). This initial candidate catalog consists of 807,611 possible binaries. Its contamination rates are lower than 10% at $a<20,000$~AU; however, the contamination rates quickly increase beyond 20,000~AU, until up to 100% at the largest separation bin, i.e., a = 1.0 pc. To address this, we subsequently applied additional selection criteria, tailored towards three kinematically-selected, presumably pure subsamples: 4361 disk-like, 10090 intermediate, and 4351 halo-like binaries.
