摘要：

双星分数和轨道特征提供了恒星形成条件的指示，因为它们揭示了它们诞生的环境。多系统在低密度环境中比在高密度环境中更常见。在目前关于球状星团的形成及其多种群的争论中，研究它们所在种群的二进制发生率提供了关于它们出生的环境及其随后的动力学演化的关键信息。通过多年的观测活动，使用火焰在VLT，我们监测了968红巨星分支恒星的径向速度位于半光半径的10个银河系球状星团的样本。我们发现总共有21个径向速度变量被识别为{ \it bona fide}双星，双星分数为2.2% $\pm$ 0.5%。当将样本分离为第一代和第二代恒星时，我们发现双星的分数分别为4.9%、$\pm$ 1.3%和1.2%、$\pm$ 0.4%。通过模拟，考虑到可能的来源的偏见，在检测径向速度的变化，在两个人口，我们表明，差异是显着的，只有轻微的影响，这种影响。这种不同的双星分数强烈表明第一代和第二代恒星形成和演化的环境不同，后者出生在密度更大的环境中。因此，我们的结果强烈支持的想法，第二代形式在一个密集的子系统的中心的松散分布的第一代，（松散）二进制文件被有效地销毁。

英文摘要：

Binary fraction and orbital characteristics provide indications on the conditions of star formation, as they shed light on the environment they were born in. Multiple systems are more common in low density environments rather than in higher density ones. In the current debate about the formation of Globular Clusters and their multiple populations, studying the binary incidence in the populations they host offers a crucial piece of information on the environment of their birth and their subsequent dynamical evolution. Through a multi-year observational campaign using FLAMES at VLT, we monitored the radial velocity of 968 Red-Giant Branch stars located around the half-light radii in a sample of 10 Galactic Globular Clusters. We found a total of 21 radial velocity variables identified as {\it bona fide} binary stars, for a binary fraction of 2.2%$\pm$0.5%. When separating the sample into first generation and second generation stars, we find a binary fraction of 4.9%$\pm$1.3% and 1.2%$\pm$0.4% respectively. Through simulations that take into account possible sources of bias in detecting radial velocity variations in the two populations, we show that the difference is significant and only marginally affected by such effects. Such a different binary fraction strongly suggests different conditions in the environment of formation and evolution of first and second generations stars, with the latter being born in a much denser environment. Our result hence strongly supports the idea that the second generation forms in a dense subsystem at the center of the loosely distributed first generation, where (loose) binaries are efficiently destroyed.
