The cool brown dwarf Gliese 229 B is a close binary
Jerry W. Xuan, A. Mérand, W. Thompson +76
Owing to their similarities with giant exoplanets, brown dwarf companions of stars provide insights into the fundamental processes of planet formation and evolution. From their orb…
The interplay between disk wind and magnetospheric accretion mechanisms in the innermost environment of RU Lup
J. A. Wojtczak, B. Tessore, L. Labadie +10
Aims: Our aim is to build upon the analysis presented in our previous work by attempting to match the observational data obtained with VLTI GRAVITY for RU Lup in 2021 with an expan…
The GRAVITY young stellar object survey XIV : Investigating the magnetospheric accretion-ejection processes in S CrA N
GRAVITY Collaboration, H. Nowacki, K. Perraut +53
The dust- and gas-rich protoplanetary disks around young stellar systems play a key role in star and planet formation. While considerable progress has recently been made in probing…
The GRAVITY young stellar object survey XIII. Tracing the time-variable asymmetric disk structure in the inner AU of the Herbig star HD98922
GRAVITY Collaboration, V. Ganci, L. Labadie +52
Temporal variability in the photometric and spectroscopic properties of protoplanetary disks is common in YSO. However, evidence pointing toward changes in their morphology over sh…
A First Look with JWST Aperture Masking Interferometry (AMI): Resolving Circumstellar Dust around the Wolf-Rayet Binary WR 137 beyond the Rayleigh Limit
Ryan M. Lau, Matthew J. Hankins, Joel Sanchez-Bermudez +20
We present infrared aperture masking interferometry (AMI) observations of newly formed dust from the colliding winds of the massive binary system Wolf-Rayet (WR) 137 with JWST usin…
The GRAVITY young stellar object survey -- XI. Probing the inner disk and magnetospheric accretion region of CI Tau
GRAVITY Collaboration, A. Soulain, K. Perraut +6
Aims: We aim at spatially and spectrally resolving the innermost scale of the young stellar object CI Tau to constrain the inner disk properties and better understand the magnetosp…
Spectroscopic and interferometric signatures of magnetospheric accretion in young stars
B. Tessore, A. Soulain, G. Pantolmos +3
Methods. We use the code MCFOST to solve the non-LTE problem of line formation in non-axisymmetric accreting magnetospheres. We compute the Brγ line profile originating from accret…
Radiation-driven acceleration in the expanding WR140 dust shell
Yinuo Han, Peter G. Tuthill, Ryan M. Lau +1
The Wolf-Rayet (WR) binary system WR140 is a close (0.9-16.7 mas) binary star consisting of an O5 primary and WC7 companion and is known as the archetype of episodic dust-producing…
Nested Dust Shells around the Wolf-Rayet Binary WR 140 observed with JWST
Ryan M. Lau, Matthew J. Hankins, Yinuo Han +29
Massive colliding-wind binaries that host a Wolf-Rayet (WR) star present a potentially important source of dust and chemical enrichment in the interstellar medium (ISM). However, t…
Smoke on the wind: dust nucleation in archetype colliding wind pinwheel WR104
A. Soulain, A. Lamberts, F. Millour +2
A handful of binary Wolf-Rayet stars are known to harbour spectacular spiral structures spanning a few hundred AU. These systems host some of the highest dust production rates in t…
Locating dust and molecules in the inner circumstellar environment of R~Sculptoris with MATISSE
Julien Drevon, Florentin Millour, Pierre Cruzalèbes +49
AGB stars are one of the main sources of dust production in the Galaxy. However, it is not clear what this process looks like and where the dust is condensing in the circumstellar…
The extended atmosphere and circumstellar environment of the cool evolved star VX Sagittarii as seen by MATISSE
A. Chiavassa, K. Kravchenko, M. Montargès +50
Context. VX Sgr is a cool, evolved, and luminous red star whose stellar parameters are difficult to determine, which affects its classification. Aims. We aim to spatially resolve t…
Mid-infrared circumstellar emission of the long-period Cepheid l Carinae resolved with VLTI/MATISSE
V. Hocdé, N. Nardetto, A. Matter +149
The nature of circumstellar envelopes (CSE) around Cepheids is still a matter of debate. The physical origin of their infrared (IR) excess could be either a shell of ionized gas, o…
The asymmetric inner disk of the Herbig Ae star HD 163296 in the eyes of VLTI/MATISSE: evidence for a vortex?
J. Varga, M. Hogerheijde, R. van Boekel +133
Context. The inner few au region of planet-forming disks is a complex environment. High angular resolution observations have a key role in understanding the disk structure and the…
Resolving Decades of Periodic Spirals from the Wolf-Rayet Dust Factory WR 112
Ryan M. Lau, Matthew J. Hankins, Yinuo Han +9
WR 112 is a dust-forming carbon-rich Wolf-Rayet (WC) binary with a dusty circumstellar nebula that exhibits a complex asymmetric morphology, which traces the orbital motion and dus…
Imaging the expanding knotty structure in the close environment of the LBV star Carinae
F. Millour, E. Lagadec, M. Montargès +13
~Car is one of the most massive stars in the Galaxy. It underwent a massive eruption in the 19th century, which produced the impressive bipolar Homunculus nebula now surrounding…
