HD 210111: a new lambda Bootis type SB system

E. Paunzen, U. Heiter, L. Fraga +1

The small group of lambda Bootis stars comprises late B to early F-type stars, with moderate to extreme (up to a factor 100) surface underabundances of most Fe-peak elements and so…

The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey: The fastest rotating O-type star and shortest period LMC pulsar - remnants of a supernova disrupted binary?

P. L. Dufton, P. R. Dunstall, C. J. Evans +12

We present a spectroscopic analysis of an extremely rapidly rotating late O-type star, VFTS102, observed during a spectroscopic survey of 30 Doradus. VFTS102 has a projected rotati…

Bayesian approach to cyclic activity of CF Oct

Ana P. Borisova, Valeri V. Hambaryan, John L. Innis

Bayesian statistical methods of Gregory-Loredo and the Bretthorst generalization of the Lomb-Scargle periodogram have been applied for studying activity cycles of the early K-type…

Magnetic field and convection in the cool supergiant Betelgeuse

P. Petit, M. Aurière, R. Konstantinova-Antova +4

We present the outcome of a highly-sensitive search for magnetic fields on the cool supergiant Betelgeuse. A time-series of six circularly-polarized spectra was obtained using the…

A dominant magnetic dipole for the evolved Ap star candidate EK Eridani

M. Auriere, R. Konstantinova-Antova, P. Petit +8

EK Eri is one of the most slowly rotating active giants known, and has been proposed to be the descendant of a strongly magnetic Ap star. We have performed a spectropolarimetric st…

Direct observation of magnetic cycles in Sun-like stars

A. Morgenthaler, P. Petit, J. Morin +4

A sample of 19 solar-type stars, probing masses between 0.6 and 1.4 solar mass and rotation periods between 3.4 and 43 days, was regularly observed using the NARVAL spectropolarime…

Multi-Wavelength Study of the 2008-2009 Outburst of V1647 Ori

D. Garcia-Alvarez, N. J. Wright, J. J. Drake +11

V1647 Ori is a young eruptive variable star, illuminating a reflection nebula (McNeil's Nebula). It underwent an outburst in 2003 before fading back to its pre-outburst brightness…

2MASS J01074282+4845188: a new nova-like cataclysmic star with a deep eclipse

Dinko Dimitrov, Diana Kjurkchieva

We present VRI photometry and low-resolution spectroscopy of the object 2MASS J01074282+4845188. The V-shape of the eclipse, the phase variability of the colour indices as well as…

The H-alpha Variations of the Luminous Blue Variable P Cygni: Discrete Absorption Components and the Short S Doradus Phase

Noel D. Richardson, Nancy D. Morrison, Douglas R. Gies +3

P Cygni is a prototype of the Luminous Blue Variables (or S Doradus variables), and the star displays photometric and emission line variability on a timescale of years (known as th…
