Abstract
There is much current interest in flare stars of the type dMe with particular concern as to their ages and mechanism responsible for flaring. Some fifty Me stars are on the Sproul Astrometric program. ihey have been discussed as flare stars or potential flare stars (Lippincott 1971). At least half are known to be members of binary or multiple systems. All are on the Sproul program to obtain accurate parallaxes and to analyze the long interval observations for non-linear proper motions indicating unseen companions. The astrometn results are discussed and statistics presented for the multiplicity among these nearby systems.
