Preface
The ESO workshop “Multiple Stars across the H-R Diagram” was held in
Garching on 12–15, July 2005. The topics included observations of multiple
stars from ground and space, dynamical and stellar evolution in multiple
systems, effects of the environment on multiplicity, formation and early evo-
lutionofmultiplestars,andspecialcomponentsofmultiplestars(chemically
peculiar stars, blue stragglers, brown dwarfs, etc.).
Stars show a marked tendency to be in systems of different multiplicity,
ranging from simple binaries and triples to globular clusters with N≈107.
Modern observations give a frequency of binary and multiple stars in the
Galactic field of up to 70%, and between 5% and 20% of these systems are
at least triple. There is evidence that the degree of multiplicity increases
with primary mass. Many known multiple systems are too wide to have sig-
nificant physical interaction between their components. However, tidal and
N-body dynamical interactions are important even in relatively wide sys-
tems and probably lead to the shrinkage of inner orbits. This sets the stage
for spectacular evolutionary processes such as Roche-lobe overflow, merg-
ers, supernovae, formation of special components, etc. Only recently did we
realize that some of these processes require at least three stars.
Theformationofmultiplesystemsremainsadifficultandchallengingpart
ofastrophysics,althoughithasbeenaddressedattheWorkshoponlybriefly.
Instead, we concentrated on the subsequent stages, more precisely, on how
the components, evolution may affect multiple systems and whether there is
adifferenceincomparisontobinarystars.Thegrowinginformationontriple

The purpose of this meeting was to bring together teams interested in
studies of X-ray, UV, visual, near-IR and far-IR properties of stars of all
types which are members of multiple systems, and covering stars of high,
intermediate and low mass, thus combining specialists with complementary
expertise. The Workshop was well timed, since major developments hap-
pened in this field of research during recent years due to the availability of
large-aperture telescopes equipped with highly sophisticated instruments for
multi-wavelengthobservations,moderninterferometers(VLTI,Keckinterfer-
ometer, CHARA array, etc.) and new satellites such as Chandra, Fuse and
VI Preface
the Spitzer Space Telescope. The combination of results from satellites and
ground-based facilities resulted in vivid interaction between the experts of
all stellar type. The current state of observational and theoretical knowledge
has been reviewed, and priorities for future studies have been discussed, so
as to provide the necessary input for further progress in the understanding
of the genesis of multiple stars, their structure and their role for the study of
stellar evolution.
Altogether, 47 people from 16 countries attended this meeting, showing

cussions. We thank the local organizing committee chaired by Monika Petr-
Gotzens and the European Southern Observatory which fully sponsored this
conference.
