Multi-chromatic observations of classical Cepheids using the CHARA Array interferometer: Surface brightness-colour relation, projection factor, and limb-darkening
M. C. Bailleul, N. Nardetto, D. Mourard +28
The Baade-Wesselink (BW) method compares the linear and angular variations of Cepheids to derive their distance. This method is limited, however, by the projection factor, which re…

We present the visual orbits and dynamical masses of two longer period spectroscopic binary stars, HD 210763 and HD 221950, using long baseline interferometry with the CHARA Array…
Southern massive stars at high angular resolution: WR 25 is a massive hierarchical triple system
K. Deshmukh, L. Mahy, H. Sana +6
WR 25 is a massive colliding-wind binary in the Carina nebula comprising a WN6ha primary with an O5 companion in an eccentric 208-d orbit. Recent spectroscopic analysis estimates t…
Interferometric Images of the Starspot Evolution of Andromedae
Rachael M. Roettenbacher, John D. Monnier, Heidi Korhonen +21
The evolution of starspots of the giant primaries of RS CVn systems is typically detected indirectly with photometric and spectroscopic monitoring. These observations suggest slowl…
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…
Interferometry of Massive Stars: Multiplicity, Magnetism, and Stellar Winds
H. Sana E. Bordier, K. Deshmukh, A. J. Frost +7
After decades of efforts, optical long-baseline interferometry has become a mainstream observational technique in terms of operation robustness and user friendliness. Interferometr…
Surprise non-detection of Upsilon Andromedae b with MIRC-X and MYSTIC at the CHARA Array
Tyler Gardner, John D. Monnier, Stefan Kraus +11
Ground-based long baseline interferometry is a powerful tool for characterizing exoplanets which are too close to their host star to be imaged with single-dish telescopes. The CHAR…
The Small Separation A-Star Companion Population: Tentative Signatures of Enhanced Multiplicity with Primary Mass
Matthew De Furio, Tyler Gardner, John D. Monnier +6
We present updated results from our near-infrared long-baseline interferometry (LBI) survey to constrain the multiplicity properties of intermediate-mass A-type stars within 80 pc.…
Orbital and Physical Properties of the Pleiades Binary 27 Tau (Atlas)
G. Torres, A. Tkachenko, K. Pavlovski +12
We report new spectroscopic and interferometric observations of the Pleiades binary star Atlas, which played an important role nearly three decades ago in settling the debate over…
HD 143006: Interferometric Confirmation of Misaligned Protoplanetary Disc with CHARA/MIRCX and VLTI/PIONIER
I. Codron, S. Kraus, J. D. Monnier +7
The outer regions of the protoplanetary disc surrounding the T Tauri star HD 143006 show rings, dust asymmetries and shadows. Whilst rings and dust asymmetries can arise from compa…
Precise Age For The Binary HD 21278 In The Young Alpha Persei Cluster
Christopher A. Danner, Eric L. Sandquist, Gail H. Schaefer +14
We present a study of the double-lined spectroscopic binary HD 21278 that contains one of the brightest main sequence stars in the young Persei open cluster. We analyzed new sp…
The Dynamic Inner Disk of a Planet Forming Star
Benjamin R. Setterholm, John D. Monnier, Fabien Baron +13
Planets are a natural byproduct of the stellar formation process, resulting from local aggregations of material within the disks surrounding young stars. Whereas signatures of gas-…
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…
A Spectroscopic and Interferometric Study of W Serpentis Stars. I. Circumbinary Outflow in the Interacting Binary W Serpentis
Katherine Shepard, Douglas R. Gies, Gail H. Schaefer +6
W Serpentis is an eclipsing binary system and the prototype of the Serpentid class of variable stars. These are interacting binaries experiencing intense mass transfer and mass los…
Multiplicity of Galactic Cepheids from long-baseline interferometry V. High-accuracy orbital parallax and mass of SU Cygni
A. Gallenne, N. R. Evans, P. Kervella +23
Cepheid masses are particularly necessary to help solving the mass discrepancy, while independent distance determinations provide crucial test of the period-luminosity relation and…
Visual Orbits of Wolf-Rayet Stars II: The Orbit of the Nitrogen-Rich WR Binary WR 138 measured with the CHARA Array
