摘要: We investigate the multiplicity properties of 408 B-type stars observed in 30 Doradus region Large Magellanic Cloud with multi-epoch spectroscopy from VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey (VFTS). use a cross-correlation method to estimate relative radial velocities helium and metal absorption lines for each our targets. Objects significant radial-velocity variations (and an amplitude larger than 16 km s-1) are classified as spectroscopic binaries. find binary fraction (defined by periods 0.1) stars, fB(obs) = 0.25 ± 0.02, which appears constant across field view, except two older clusters (Hodge 301 SL 639). These have significantly lower fractions 0.08 ± 0.08 0.10 ± 0.09, respectively. Using synthetic populations model epochs their potential biases, we constrain intrinsic dwarf giant (i.e. relatively unevolved) Dor. obtain present-day fB(true) = 0.58 ± 0.11, flat period distribution. Within uncertainties, agree those O Dor VFTS.
