Binaries: General

Scientific paper

Three-body processes go on in star clusters where binary stars meet single stars and frequently form temporary triple systems. The triples are typically unstable and break up into a new binary and a single star. Also a simple scattering of a single star from a binary may take place. Both processes can be handled by the statistical theories of three-body break-up and scattering. Here we apply the theory to binary stars, assuming that binaries have been involved in the three-body process. The distributions of binary periods, eccentricities and mass ratios are discussed from this point of view and compared with observational samples.
