The New Version of the Binary Star Database (BDB)

Abstract: The Binary star database contains data on about 100 000 stellar systems of multiplicity 2 to 22, taken from a large variety of published catalogues for all types of binary stars: visual, orbital, astrometric, interferometric, spectroscopic, photometric, eclipsing, etc. Positional, kinematic, photometric, spectroscopic, orbital and astrophysical parameters are provided when available. The database can be queried by identifier, coordinates, catalogue and stellar/orbital parameters (including binary type) of objects. Lists of objects can be submitted as well. Also, the database provides links to some other online services, both of general purpose and on binary stars. A pilot version of BDB can be accessed at http://bdb.inasan.ru
