Orbital period as a function of the e/i statistic for members or possible members of the Hyades with known astrometric or spectroscopic orbits. The inset zooms in on the inner portion of the diagram (e/i < 25), and shows that most targets with e/i > 2 (marked with a dashed line) tend to have periods under 10⁴ days, with very few exceptions. We may expect, then, that other objects with e/i > 2, which we consider to be binaries even though the orbits are unknown, will also typically have periods under 10⁴ days, and we include them in the calculation of the multiplicity fraction.
