Scientific paper

The space distribution of orbital poles for 252 visual binaries is analyzed to check a possible tendency towards parallelism. It is confirmed that orbital planes do not show any trend to be parallel to the Galactic plane. No strong evidence is found for a preferential orientation of the orbital planes for subgroups of binaries with similar periods and eccentricities. Asymmetry in the distribution of orbital poles is seen only for a subgroup of 19 binaries lying closer than 10 pc. Small differences in the distribution of orbital poles are also detected for subgroups with different location on HR diagram.
