X-shooter survey Across Regions and Ages to probe Disk Evolution (ARADE): Accretion properties in Orion A and their relation with disk masses

Lara Piscarreta, Giacomo Beccari, Carlo Manara +10

We present a homogeneous VLT/X-Shooter study of accretion in young stellar objects spanning the entire Orion A complex. Our sample includes 91 pre-main-sequence stars hosting a pro…

The Bimodal Mass Ratio Distribution of the Hyades

Henri M. J. Boffin

The distribution of stellar mass ratios, q, in binary systems provides critical insights into the dynamical history and star-formation processes of open clusters. Here, I re-evalua…

K 1-6 is a photoionised ISM nebula shaped by a fast-moving hot white dwarf in a triple system

Jaroslav Merc, David Jones, Ana Escorza +22

K 1-6 has long been classified as a planetary nebula (PN) hosting a binary central star, yet it has remained poorly studied due to its faintness. The central star exhibits pronounc…

The Wonderful World of Binary Stars

Andrea Barone, Henri M. J. Boffin, Beatrice Caccherano +6

During the 2026 ESO La Silla Observing school, about twenty students attended lectures and performed observations to learn various aspects of observational astronomy. The school, w…

Probing accretion and stellar properties in the Orion Nebula with VLT/X-Shooter

L. Piscarreta, G. Beccari, R. A. B. Claes +6

Multiple photometric studies have reported the presence of seemingly older accreting pre-main sequence stars (PMS) in optical colour-magnitude diagrams (CMDs). We investigate this…

Towards a more complete sample of binary central stars of planetary nebulae with Gaia

N. Chornay, N. A. Walton, D. Jones +3

Context: Many if not most planetary nebulae (PNe) are now thought to be the outcome of binary evolutionary scenarios. However only a few percent of PNe in the Milky Way are known t…
