Fraction of stars that are known to be close (﹩P< 5﹩ yr) Doppler binaries as a function of absolute magnitude. For the 25 pc Sun‐like sample (large dots), ~11% of stars are binaries; within the error bars, brighter stars do not appear to be significantly overrepresented. If we include the extra stars to make the 50 pc Sun‐like sample (small dots), the stellar binary fraction is lower and decreases as the systems get fainter.
