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…
Recent and Upcoming Upgrades for MIRC-X and MYSTIC on the CHARA Array
Noura Ibrahim, Mayra Gutierrez, John D. Monnier +17
MIRC-X and MYSTIC are six-telescope near-infrared beam (1.08-2.38 m) combiners at the CHARA Array on Mt Wilson CA, USA. Ever since the commissioning of MIRC-X (J and H bands) in…
STARI: STarlight Acquisition and Reflection toward Interferometry
John D. Monnier, Prachet Jain, Shashank Kalluri +7
We present the concept for STARI: STarlight Acquisition and Reflection toward Interferometry. If launched, STARI will be the first mission to control a 3-D CubeSat formation to the…
Prospects for using drones to test formation-flying CubeSat concepts, and other astronomical applications
John D. Monnier, Prachet Jain, Mayra Gutierrez +11
Drones provide a versatile platform for remote sensing and atmospheric studies. However, strict payload mass limits and intense vibrations have proven obstacles to adoption for ast…
Planet Formation Imager (PFI): Project update and future directions
John D. Monnier, Stefan Kraus, Michael J. Ireland
The Planet Formation Imager (PFI) Project is dedicated to defining a next-generation facility that can answer fundamental questions about how planets form, including detection of y…
CHARA Near-Infrared Imaging of the Yellow Hypergiant Star Cassiopeiae: Convection Cells and Circumstellar Envelope
Narsireddy Anugu, Fabien Baron, John D. Monnier +18
Massive evolved stars such as red supergiants and hypergiants are potential progenitors of Type II supernovae, and they are known for ejecting substantial amounts of matter, up to…
