The stellar correlation function from SDSS - A statistical search for wide binary stars

We study the statistical properties of the wide binary population in the Galaxy field with projected separations larger than 200 AU by constructing the stellar angular two-point correlation function (2PCF) from a homogeneous sample of nearly 670'000 main sequence stars. The selected stars lie w...
