Detailed homogeneous abundance studies of 14 Galactic s-process enriched post-AGB stars: In search of lead (Pb)
Kenneth De Smedt, Hans Van Winckel, Devika Kamath +4
This paper is part of a larger project in which we systematically study the chemical abundances of Galactic and extragalactic post-asymptotic giant branch (post-AGB) stars. Lead (P…
The WISE View of RV Tauri Stars
I. Gezer, H. Van Winckel, Z. Bozkurt +4
We present a detailed study based on infrared photometry of all Galactic RV Tauri stars from the General Catalogue of Variable Stars (GCVS). RV Tauri stars are the brightest among…
The role of binarity in Wolf-Rayet central stars of planetary nebulae
Brent Miszalski, Rajeev Manick, Vanessa McBride
Over a hundred planetary nebulae (PNe) are known to have H-deficient central stars that mimic the spectroscopic appearance of massive Wolf-Rayet stars. The formation of these low-m…
Post-common-envelope Wolf-Rayet central stars of planetary nebulae
Brent Miszalski, Rajeev Manick, Vanessa McBride
Nearly 50 post-common-envelope (post-CE) close binary central stars of planetary nebulae (CSPNe) are now known. Most contain either main sequence or white dwarf (WD) companions tha…
Kepler's first view of O-star variability: K2 data of five O stars in Campaign 0 as a proof-of-concept for O-star asteroseismology
B. Buysschaert, C. Aerts, S. Bloemen +9
We present high-precision photometric light curves of five O-type stars observed with the refurbished {\it Kepler\/} satellite during its Campaign 0. For one of the stars, we also…
A radial velocity survey for post-common-envelope Wolf-Rayet central stars of planetary nebulae: First results and discovery of the close binary nucleus of NGC 5189
Rajeev Manick, Brent Miszalski, Vanessa McBride
The formation of Wolf-Rayet central stars of planetary nebulae ([WR] CSPNe) whose spectroscopic appearance mimics massive WR stars remains poorly understood. Least understood is th…
