Resumen
We present a high angular resolution survey of binary stars and multiple systems in the galactic open cluster ASCC 113. Combining our speckle-interferometric observations with data taken from the literature, we estimated a ratio of 27:7 (single to binaries) for the the most probable members, so the multiplicity fraction for this cluster is 20.6% ± 3%. For field stars, we estimated a ratio of multiplicities to be 125:27:4:1:0:0:0:1 (between one and eight companions), which is equivalent to a multiplicity fraction of 20.9% ± 1%. We concluded that the multiplicity fraction in the cluster and in the field are statistically indistinguishable from each other; we also concluded that the multiplicity frequency in this open cluster is rather small, ∼ 20%, in agreement with high angular resolution surveys in the Pleiades, Hyades, alpha \ Per and Praesepe.
