BRG 18 This target, like BRG 23, gives conflicting information about whether
the AB pair is physically bound. The brightness and color are fully
consistent with B being an M3.5 companion to the M2.0 primary.
Furthermore, the separation is only 0.2", and the whole field is
otherwise empty. This indicates physical companionship. However, the
deviation from the expectation of a background source is only 1.1
sigma, and the companion has moved 3.6 times closer to the background
expectation than its original position where the motion has a 14 sigma
confidence. This, by contrast, suggests a chance alignment. Since the
magnitude of motion is not inconsistent with what could be expected
for orbital motion of a real physical pair, we keep it as binary in
our analysis, but we note that further observations will be necessary
in order to resolve this issue satisfactorily. Jnn2012
