Description
CAFÉ-BEANS is an on-going survey running on the 2.2 m telescope
at Calar Alto. For more than two years, CAFÉ-BEANS has been
collecting high-resolution spectra of early-type stars with the aim of
detecting and characterising spectroscopic binaries. The main goal of
this project is a thorough characterisation of multiplicity in high-mass
stars by detecting all spectroscopic and visual binaries in a large
sample of Galactic O-type stars, and solving their orbits. Our final
objective is eliminating all biases in the high-mass-star IMF created by
undetected binaries.
