The volume-limited A-star survey : exploring the multiplicity of intermediate mass stars

I present the results of the first volume-limited adaptive optics multiplicity survey of A-type stars. Using high-resolution observations obtained using adaptive optics instruments at five observatories, I have estimated the frequency of binary companions to a sample of 233 A-type stars within 60 pa...
