30-year kinematic monitoring of 27 Galactic center Wolf-Rayet stars identifies five binary candidates and infers a binary fraction of 0.56 ± 0.18.

abstract
We report measurements of the light curve of the variable Galactic Center source IRS16SW. The light curve is not consistent with an eclipsing binary or any other obvious variable star. The source may be an example of a high mass variable predicted theoretically but not observed previously.

A Kinematic Study of Wolf-Rayet Stars at the Galactic Center I: Binary Candidates and Constraints on the Binary Fraction
30-year kinematic monitoring of 27 Galactic center Wolf-Rayet stars identifies five binary candidates and infers a binary fraction of 0.56 ± 0.18.
