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 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…
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
Amanda Holdsworth, Noel Richardson, Gail H. Schaefer +19
Classical Wolf-Rayet stars are descendants of massive OB-type stars that have lost their hydrogen-rich envelopes, and are in the final stages of stellar evolution, possibly explodi…
Visual Orbits of Wolf-Rayet Stars I: The Orbit of the dust-producing Wolf-Rayet binary WR\,137 measured with the CHARA Array
Noel D. Richardson, Gail H. Schaefer, Jan J. Eldridge +19
Classical Wolf-Rayet stars are the descendants of massive OB stars that have lost their hydrogen envelopes and are burning helium in their cores prior to exploding as type Ib/c sup…
Time-Evolution Images of the Hypergiant RW Cephei During the Re-brightening Phase Following the Great Dimming
Narsireddy Anugu, Douglas R. Gies, Rachael M. Roettenbacher +17
Stars with initial masses larger than 8 solar masses undergo substantial mass loss through mechanisms that remain elusive. Unraveling the origins of this mass loss is important for…
