This award will support an observational project to explore the nature of cool ("red") binary and multiple stars. The project adopts a two-pronged approach to uncover both close binaries and those with wide separation. The main goals of the project are to reveal important clues about star formation, improve knowledge of the luminosity and mass functions of individual and multiple red dwarfs, provide samples for studies of the longevity of wide multiples in the solar neighborhood, and evaluate whether multiplicity affects the formation of exoplanets around red dwarfs.The project is expected to shed light on the process of star formation and how binary and multiple systems evolve with time. The research will also contribute to the education and training of students from a variety of backgrounds, and non-scientists will benefit from opportunities to participate in this project.

该奖项将支持一个观察项目，以探索酷（“红色”）二进制和多个恒星的性质。 该项目采用了一种两方的方法来揭示近距离二进制文件和分离范围广泛的二进制方法。 该项目的主要目标是揭示有关恒星形成的重要线索，提高对个体和多个红色矮人的发光度和质量功能的了解，为太阳能邻域中宽倍数的长寿提供样本，并评估倍数是否会影响红色dwarfs周围的exoplanets的形成。 这项研究还将为来自各种背景的学生的教育和培训做出贡献，非科学家将受益于参加该项目的机会。
