Speckle interferometry of metal-poor stars in the solar neighborhood. II

The results of speckle interferometric observations of 115 metal-poor stars ([m/H] < ?1) within 250 pc from the Sun and with proper motions µ ? 0.2″/yr, made with the 6-m telescope of the Special Astrophysical Observatory of the Russian Academy of Sciences, are reported. Close companions with separations ranging from 0.034″ to 1″ were observed for 12 objects—G76-21, G59-1, G63-46, G135-16, G168-42, G141-47, G142-44, G190-10, G28-43, G217-8, G130-7, and G89-14—eight of them are astrometrically resolved for the first time. The newly resolved systems include one triple star—G190-10. If combined with spectroscopic and visual data, our results imply a single:binary:triple:quadruple star ratio of 147:64:9:1 for a sample of 221 primary components of halo and thick-disk stars.
