• FROM BINARIES TO MULTIPLES. I. DATA ON F AND G DWARFS WITHIN 67 pc OF THE SUN (2014, methodology): “In addition, close pairs resolved by speckle interferometry and adaptive optics (AO) are collected in the INT4 catalog (Hartkopf et al. 2001), and all known visual and occultation binaries are catalogued by the WDS (Mason et al. 2001).”
• Unique sextuple system: 65 Ursae Majoris (2012, methodology): “These have been collected in the Washington Double Star Catalog (hereafter WDS2, Mason et al. 2001).”
• The VAST Survey - III. The multiplicity of A-type stars within 75 pc (2013, background): “…less than 30 au are not fully covered by the VAST survey, but combining the spatially resolved systems from this study, with spectroscopic, speckle and interferometric binaries (Mason et al. 2001; Pourbaix et al. 2004), allowed for a lowerlimit estimate of the population of higher order multiples.”
• Discovery of a warm, dusty giant planet around HIP 65426 (2017, background): “This research has made use of the Washington Double Star Catalog maintained at the U.S. Naval Observatory.”
• Small vs. large dust grains in transitional disks: do different cavity sizes indicate a planet? - SAO 206462 (HD 135344B) in polarized light with VLT/NACO (2013, background): “The angular separation from HD 135344A is 21′′ (Mason et al. 2001), which translates into a physical separation> 2900 AU.”
• THE GALACTIC O-STAR SPECTROSCOPIC SURVEY (GOSSS). II. BRIGHT SOUTHERN STARS (2013, methodology): “…research has made extensive use of: [a] Aladin (Bonnarel et al. 2000); [b] the SIMBAD database, operated at CDS, Strasbourg, France; [c] the Washington Double Star Catalog, maintained at the U.S. Naval Observatory (Mason et al. 2001); and [d] the 2MASS Point Source Catalog (Skrutskie et al. 2006).”
• Tertiary Companions to Close Spectroscopic Binaries (2006, neutral): “Thus, a “filter” was adopted to reject optical companions, and such a filter introduces a strong selection effect in the existing double-star catalog, WDS (Mason et al. 2001).”

• OBSERVATIONS OF HIERARCHICAL SOLAR-TYPE MULTIPLE STAR SYSTEMS (2015, background): “The table gives the Washington Double Star (WDS; Mason et al. 2001) Catalog designation for the system as are the HD and HIP numbers for the primary star.”
• THE PALOMAR/KECK ADAPTIVE OPTICS SURVEY OF YOUNG SOLAR ANALOGS: EVIDENCE FOR A UNIVERSAL COMPANION MASS FUNCTION (2008, background): “The star HD 91962, a previously known binary (Mason et al. 2001, and references therein), was resolved into a triple system.”
• HOW TO CONSTRAIN YOUR M DWARF: MEASURING EFFECTIVE TEMPERATURE, BOLOMETRIC LUMINOSITY, MASS, AND RADIUS (2015, methodology): “To identify tighter binaries, we cross-checked our sample with the Fourth Catalog of Interferometric Measurements of Binary Stars (Hartkopf et al. 2001), the Washington Double Star Catalog (Mason et al. 2001), and SIMBAD.”
• Speckle Interferometry at SOAR in 2016 and 2017 (2014, methodology): “The columns of Table 3 contain (1) the WDS (Mason et al. 2001) designation, (2) the “discoverer designation” as adopted in WDS, (3) an alternative name, mostly from the Hipparcos catalog, (4) Julian year of observation, (5) filter, (6) number of averaged individual data cubes, (7, 8) position angle…”
• New and Confirmed Triple Systems with Luminous Cool Primaries and Hot Companions (2004, methodology): “…as older visual double star measurements of separations and visual magnitude differences, have been compiled from updated, on-line versions5 of the Washington Double Star Catalog (WDS; Mason et al. 2001), the Catalog of Interferometric Measurements of Binary Stars 2 See http://archive.stsci.edu/.”
• Contact Binaries with Additional Components. I. The Extant Data (2006, background): “A large body of data for multiple stars has been collected by Tokovinin (1997, 2004); his comprehensive Catalogue of Physical Multiple Stars provides data on such quantities as the brightness, distance, position angle, astrometric data and hierarchy in multiple systems.”
