A comparison between results of model calculations and observed properties of close, but detached low mass binaries with Main Sequence primaries shows statistical trends, which seem to support fission origin for some of these objects: the mass-momentum relation, the relation between mass ratio and separation and the relation between mass ratio and synchronisation speak in favour of close initial separations and small mass ratios of the components.
