Scientific paper

Our purpose was to determine the minimal sum of masses of wide visual double stars' components that allows these components to maintain an elliptical orbit. We based our calculations on apparent motion arameters (AMP) method, Hipparcos parallaxes and WDS catalog data for 129 wide pairs. The pairs were selected according to the following criteria: 1) Component separation is more than 2". 2) Parallax from Hipparcos catalogue is more than 0.01". 3) Observations cover the arc of about from 10° to 30° so that at least the orbit curvature can be determined, although the orbit elements and masses can not be determined. We discovered several stars for which the minimum mass is essentially more than the value determined on the basis of the mass-luminosity relation.
