Galactic vs. Extragalactic Origin of the Peculiar Transient SCP 06F6
Noam Soker, Adam Frankowski, Amit Kashi
We study four scenarios for the SCP 06F6 transient event that was announced recently. Some of these were previously briefly discussed as plausible models for SCP 06F6, in particula…
Detection methods of binary stars with low- and intermediate-mass components
A. Jorissen, A. Frankowski
This paper reviews methods which can be used to detect binaries involving low- and intermediate-mass stars, with special emphasis on evolved systems. Besides the traditional method…
Proper-motion binaries in the Hipparcos Catalogue. Comparison with radial velocity data
A. Frankowski, S. Jancart, A. Jorissen
The comparison of the proper motions constructed from positions spanning a short (Hipparcos) or long time (Tycho-2) makes it possible to uncover binaries with periods of the order…
Binary life after the AGB - towards a unified picture
A. Frankowski, A. Jorissen
A unified evolutionary scheme that includes post-AGB systems, barium stars, symbiotics, and related systems, explaining their similarites as well as differences. Can we construct i…
The puzzling case of 56 Pegasi: A fast rotator seen nearly face-on?
Adam Frankowski, Alain Jorissen
A spectroscopic orbit has been recently found by R. Griffin for the long known barium star 56 Peg, which is also a strong X-ray source. This short-period, low mass-function orbit r…
Modification of AGB wind in a binary system
Adam Frankowski, Romuald Tylenda
We explore one of plausible causes of asymmetry in the wind of an AGB star - the presence of a binary companion. We have developed a simple method for estimating the intrinsic non-…
