Scientific paper

We present current results from the ongoing WIYN Open Cluster Study radial-velocity survey for 1410 stars in the young (150 Myr) open cluster M35 (NGC 2168) and establish a benchmark for initial conditions in young open clusters. We find for periods 1000 days a minimum binary frequency of 0.36 0.51. We also analyze the spatial, period and eccentricity distributions of the binary systems and find that the period and eccentricity distributions are well approximated by scaled field distributions from Duquennoy & Mayor (1991). With our large sample size and long baseline, we have a unique understanding of the binary population in this young cluster, making it ideal for defining initial conditions for dynamical simulations.
