Contact Binaries with Additional Components. III. A Search Using Adaptive Optics
We present results of the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope adaptive optics (AO) search for companions of a homogeneous group of contact binary stars, as a contribution to our attempts to prove the hypothesis that these binaries require a third star to become as close as observed. In addition to directly discovering companions …
