Toward a Common Language: the Washington Multiplicity Catalog

Abstract Due to improvements in technology (interferometers, precision radial-velocity techniques, etc.), the traditional separation/period regimes of “wide” and “close” binaries are witnessing increasing overlap. This is expected to lead to increasing confusion in component identification, since different observing techniques adopted their own rules for designation of these components. A quick overview will be given of the Washington Multiplicity Catalog, an effort to create a common nomenclature scheme for all types of stellar and sub-stellar companions.
