Description
Abstract

Modern spectroscopic surveys provide a huge number of stellar spectra. Traditionally, the main analysis of survey data focuses on single stars, while spectroscopic binaries (SBn, where n is the number of spectral components) are removed and analysed separately. SB2s with a non-zero radial velocity difference of spectral components are usually detected by an analysis of multiple peaks of the cross-correlation functions, although it is possible to detect an SB2 with zero difference in radial velocities using the composite spectroscopic model if the spectral components are significantly different. Machine-learning techniques can also be used to find SB2s.

In this talk I resent a new method for detection of SB2s, which is based on a clear correlation between the radial velocity separation difference estimated by the binary spectral model and the value of the projected rotational velocity, derived by the single-star model for SB2 systems. The method was successfully applied to LAMOST-MRS and Gaia-ESO spectra.
