Abstract

Snowden & Young (2005ApJS..157..126S) suggested that the reason why there are GK subgiants is because they are members of binaries, which would bring them above the main sequence in an Hertzsprung-Russell (HR) diagram. They studied a sample of 30 G0-K1 IV stars and were disappointed to find only two to be spectroscopic binaries. With more accurate radial velocities I found seven binaries in their samples of subgiants and control stars; orbital elements are given for those seven. Using Hipparcos parallaxes and SIMBAD data, I found that nearly all of the G0-K1 IV stars fall on the evolutionary tracks by Girardi et al. (2000, J/A+AS/141/371) for Population I stars with masses of 0.9-1.9 M_{sun}_ and ages of up to 10^10^ yr, which are normal parameters for nearby field stars. Therefore there is no problem regarding the existence of GK subgiants.
