The researches at torino on wide double stars

Summary

The present poster shows the main researches conduced at the Astronomical Observatory of Torino during this last decade in the field of the wide double stars. From the observational point of view, two different photographic techniques carried out with our 105 cm astrometric reflector over a selected sample of wide binaries are explained. With reference to the Hipparcos mission, we show two aspects of our collaboration with the INCA and FAST Consortiums. From the statistical point of view, a study concerning the systematic and accidental errors detected in visual double star observations is explained. We conclude the poster with the future foreseen researches concerning new observational techniques and new theoretical statistical studies on these wide objects.
