A method to deconvolve mass ratio distribution of binary stars

Aims. It is important to know the binary mass-ratio distribution to better understand the evolution of stars in binary systems and to constrain their formation. However, in most cases, that is, for single-lined spectroscopic binaries, the mass ratio cannot be measured directly, but can only be deriv...
