The multiplicity of massive stars: a 2016 view

Understand

Massive stars like company.

• Here, we provide a brief overview of progresses made over the last 5 years by a number of medium and large surveys.
• These results provide new insights on the observed and intrinsic multiplicity properties of main sequence massive stars and on the initial conditions for their future evolution.
• They also bring new interesting constraints on the outcome of the massive star formation process.
