The study identified dozens of complex multi-star systems and revealed that massive stars are far more likely to have stellar companions than smaller red dwarfs. The catalog will help future missions like the proposed Habitable Worlds Observatory avoid false planetary signals and refine the search for potentially habitable worlds near our solar system.
