Abstract
We collected the information about 83 pre-main sequence double-lined spectroscopic binaries. Among them there are Ae/Be Herbig stars, T Tauri stars and red dwarfs. The eccentricity – period relation, the mass ratio and eccentricity distributions of young spectroscopic binaries are constructed and analyzed. The overwhelming majority of close binaries with have eccentricity near to zero, the stars less than 1 million years old are rare among them. The mass ratio distribution of systems with has a prominent maximum in a range of . The number of young spectroscopic binaries with does not decrease with decreasing mass ratio as sharply as in the case of close binary stars, about 12% of these stars have . The paper is based on a talk presented at the astrophysical memorial seminar “Novelties in Understanding the Evolution of Binary Stars”, dedicated to the 90th anniversary of Professor M.A. Svechnikov.
