Distributions of Wide Binary Stars in Theory and in Gaia Data. I. Generalized Ambartsumian (1937) Approach and the Family of Power-law Distributions of Eccentricity

The orbital parameter space of wide, weakly bound binary stars has been shaped by the still poorly known circumstances of their formation, as well as by subsequent dynamical evolution in parent clusters and in the field. The advance of the Gaia mission astrometry takes statistical studies of wide st...
