To understand the characteristics and the history of the binary clusters, it is important to establish a well-sampled statistics of this population. Among ∼ 3100 star clusters (excluding associations), there are 634 clusters considered as binary/multiple cluster candidates. In this paper, the empirical statistics of the population, including spatial, size, separation, and age distribution are constructed using updated data. The current cluster compilation includes the ages of 88% group components, which is three times more complete compared to the previous study. From the established statistics, we found an evidence that cloud fissions become the most probable mechanism of binary star cluster formation. Size and separation distribution of the clusters in binary/multiple systems show the importance of dynamical interaction within the systems.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Age distribution,Binary clusters,Dynamical interactions,Group components,Large magellanic clouds,Physical nature,Star clusters,Updated data[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]This study was supported by the Ministry of Research Technology and Higher Education throuh Hibah Riset Disentralisasi Ristekdikti ().[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.1088/1742-6596/1127/1/012053[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
