SLoWPoKES: Catalog of Low-Mass Star Pairs by smswamy is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document presents the Sloan Low-mass Wide Pairs of Kinematically Equivalent Stars (SLoWPoKES) catalog, which contains 1342 very wide (separation >500 AU), low-mass (K-M dwarf) common proper motion pairs identified in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. The catalog has an expected fidelity of 98.35%. Most pairs violate previous empirical limits on maximum separation or binding energy but are within theoretical limits. Analysis finds a lower limit binary frequency of 1.1% for K-M dwarfs that decreases with hei
