Shadows cast by precessing annuli as evidence for an inclined planet in HD 139614

Katie L. Milsom, Tim J. Harries, Evan A. Rich +3

We analyse scattered-light images at multiple epochs of the protoplanetary disc HD139614 taken with GPI and SPHERE instruments. We show that the azimuthal distribution of the surfa…

Multiple outflows and delayed ejections revealed by early imaging of novae

Elias Aydi, John D. Monnier, Antoine Mérand +39

Novae are thermonuclear eruptions on accreting white dwarfs in interacting binaries. Although most of the accreted envelope is expelled, the mechanism -- impulsive ejection, multip…

Newborn Be star systems observed shortly after mass transfer

Th. Rivinius, R. Klement, S. D. Chojnowski +24

Many classical Be stars acquire their very rapid rotation by mass and angular-momentum transfer in massive binaries. Short-lived intermediate-phase objects have only been discovere…
