Taking into account the existence of many unresolved binary (and multiple) systems among the stars used to derive the stellar luminosity function the authors have estimated the increase in the local mass density in the solar neighborhood. Such an increase depends on the fraction of stars which are unresolved binaries, but conservative estimates give a value larger than 0.004 M_sun; pc-3, comparable with other kinds of corrections discussed in the literature.
