CHARA Array Observations of the Evolved Components in Symbiotic Star Systems
Thomas Martin Gaudin, Ryan Norris, Magdalena Otulakowska-Hypka +30
The nature of the mechanisms that drive mass transfer in symbiotic stars remains an area of active research in stellar astronomy. Constraining the role that both stellar winds and…
Pre-nova Observations of T CrB: A view from the CHARA Array
Ryan Norris, Narsireddy Anugu, Thomas Gaudin +38
T CrB is a symbiotic recurrent nova consisting of a red giant and white dwarf with recent eruptions in 1866 and 1946 and an anticipated eruption in the mid 2020s. We report CHARA A…
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-…
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…
Orbits and Dynamical Masses for the Active Hyades Multiple System HD 284163
Guillermo Torres, Gail H. Schaefer, Robert P. Stefanik +16
We report near-infrared long-baseline interferometric observations of the Hyades multiple system HD 284163, made with the CHARA array, as well as almost 43 yr of high-resolution sp…
The Great Dimming of the hypergiant star RW Cephei: CHARA Array images and spectral analysis
N. Anugu, F. Baron, D. R. Gies +15
The cool hypergiant star RW Cephei is currently in a deep photometric minimum that began several years ago. This event bears a strong similarity to the Great Dimming of the red sup…
Reconstructing the mid-infrared environment in the stellar merger remnant V838 Monocerotis
Muhammad Zain Mobeen, Tomasz Kamiński, Alexis Matter +15
V838 Mon is a stellar merger remnant that erupted in 2002 in a luminous red novae event. Although it is well studied in the optical, near infrared and submillimeter regimes, its st…
Imaging the warped dusty disk wind environment of SU Aurigae with MIRC-X
Aaron Labdon, Stefan Kraus, Claire L. Davies +12
SU Aurigae is a widely studied T Tauri star and here we present original state-of-the-art interferometric observations with better uv and baseline coverage than previous studies. W…
Three-dimensional orbit of AC Her determined: Binary-induced truncation cannot explain the large cavity in this post-AGB transition disk
Narsireddy Anugu, Jacques Kluska, Tyler Gardner +17
Some evolved binaries, namely post-asymptotic giant branch binaries, are surrounded by stable and massive circumbinary disks similar to protoplanetary disks found around young star…
Precise Age for the Binary Star System 12 Com in the Coma Berenices Cluster
Rex Lam, Eric L. Sandquist, Gail H. Schaefer +11
We present measurements of the interferometrically-resolved binary star system 12 Com and the single giant star 31 Com in the cluster Coma Berenices. 12 Com is a double-lined spect…
Imaging the inner astronomical unit of Herbig Be star HD 190073
Nour Ibrahim, John D. Monnier, Stefan Kraus +13
Inner regions of protoplanetary disks host many complex physical processes such as star-disk interactions, magnetic fields, planet formation, and the migration of new planets. To d…
Multiplicity of northern bright O-type stars with optical long baseline interferometry
Cyprien Lanthermann, Jean-Baptiste Le Bouquin, Hugues Sana +16
The study of the multiplicity of massive stars gives hints on their formation processes and their evolutionary paths, which are still not fully understood. Large separation binarie…
The Small Separation A-Star Companion Population: First Results with CHARA/MIRC-X
Matthew De Furio, Tyler Gardner, John Monnier +9
We present preliminary results from our long-baseline interferometry (LBI) survey to constrain the multiplicity properties of intermediate-mass A-type stars within 80pc. Previous m…
The Orbits and Dynamical Masses of the Castor System
Guillermo Torres, Gail H. Schaefer, John D. Monnier +12
Castor is a system of six stars in which the two brighter objects, Castor A and B, revolve around each other every 450 yr and are both short-period spectroscopic binaries. Th…
Dynamical masses of the primary Be star and the secondary sdB star in the single-lined binary kappa Dra (B6 IIIe)
R. Klement, D. Baade, Th. Rivinius +16
Because many classical Be stars may owe their nature to mass and angular-momentum transfer in a close binary, the present masses, temperatures, and radii of their components are of…
ARMADA II: Further Detections of Inner Companions to Intermediate Mass Binaries with Micro-Arcsecond Astrometry at CHARA and VLTI
Tyler Gardner, John D. Monnier, Francis C. Fekel +18
We started a survey with CHARA/MIRC-X and VLTI/GRAVITY to search for low mass companions orbiting individual components of intermediate mass binary systems. With the incredible pre…
