Scientific paper

Model atmospheres of main-sequence stars (effective temperatures of 5000 to 8500 K) were used to compare composite equivalent widths of selected Fe I and Fe II lines, for synthetic binaries differing by 500 K and 1000 K in effective temperature. The composite equivalent widths were analyzed as if they arose from a single star. The resulting effective temperatures, gravities, iron abundances and microturbulent velocities were derived. The main effect of an unresolved duplicity is an underestimation of the gravity. Known or suspected binaries should therefore not be included in spectroscopic sample stars.
