Survey of stellar & planetary comp. within 25pc

DOI

We explore the impact of outer stellar companions on the occurrence rate of giant planets detected with radial velocities. We searched for stellar and planetary companions to a volume-limited sample of solar-type stars within 25pc. Using adaptive optics imaging observations from the Lick 3m and Palomar 200" Telescopes, we characterized the multiplicity of our sample stars, down to the bottom of the main sequence. With these data, we confirm field star multiplicity statistics from previous surveys. We additionally combined three decades of radial velocity (RV) data from the California Planet Search with newly collected RV data from Keck/HIRES and the Automated Planet Finder/Levy Spectrometer to search for planetary companions in these same systems. Using an updated catalog of both stellar and planetary companions, as well as detailed injection/recovery tests to determine our sensitivity and completeness, we measured the occurrence rate of planets among the single and multiple-star systems. We found that planets with masses in the range of 0.1-10M_J_ and with semimajor axes of 0.1-10au have an occurrence rate of 0.18_-0.03_^+0.04^ planets per star when they orbit single stars and an occurrence rate of 0.12{+/-}0.04 planets per star when they orbit a star in a binary system. Breaking the sample down by the binary separation, we found that only one planet-hosting binary system had a binary separation <100au, and none had a separation 100au and 0.04_-0.02_^+0.04^ planets per star for binaries with separation aB100au. Finally, we found evidence that giant planets in binary systems have a different semimajor-axis distribution than their counterparts in single-star systems. The planets in the single-star sample had a significantly higher occurrence rate outside of 1au than inside 1au by nearly 4{sigma}, in line with expectations that giant planets are most common near the snow line. However, the planets in the wide binary systems did not follow this distribution, but rather had equivalent occurrence rates interior and exterior to 1au. This may point to binary-mediated planet migration acting on our sample, even in binaries wider than 100au.
