AbstractWe present current results from the ongoing WIYN Open Cluster Study radial-velocity survey for 1410 stars in the young (150 Myr) open cluster M35 (NGC 2168) and establish a benchmark for initial conditions in young open clusters. We find for periods ≲ 1000 days a minimum binary frequency of 0.36 – 0.51. We also analyze the spatial, period and eccentricity distributions of the binary systems and find that the period and eccentricity distributions are well approximated by scaled field distributions from Duquennoy & Mayor (1991). With our large sample size and long baseline, we have a unique understanding of the binary population in this young cluster, making it ideal for defining initial conditions for dynamical simulations.
