Abstract
We have spectroscopically studied the last six stars in the northern sky from our preliminary list of candidates for wide non-coeval pairs, and we have found no evidence of non-coevality. Thus, considering our previous research, which found one such binary system, we confirm that our preliminary estimate of the fraction of binaries in the solar neighborhood formed by capture is no more than 0.03%.
