Scientific paper

Already in popular textbooks you can read that double stars are frequent phenomena in the Milky Way. In the first instance this concerns the visual double stars that every one can admire through the telescope. They constitute a considerable fraction of the total stellar content, with a certain statistical frequency dependence upon spectral type and luminosity class that may partly be physically significant but, to an overwhelming extent, is conditioned by selection effects. If we add the spectroscopic binaries, we increase the number by at least an order of magnitude and if we take into account also the higher multiples, we may find that the number of stars in multiple systems exceeds the number of single stars.
