Exploiting tidal asteroseismology in binary populations from combined space photometry and time-resolved high-resolution spectroscopy
Ema Šipková, Alex Kemp, Dario Fritzewski +4
Space-based photometry has substantially increased the number of pulsating stars found in binary systems by more than four orders of magnitude. Combined with high-resolution spectr…
Populations of tidal and pulsating variables in eclipsing binaries
Alex Kemp, Jasmine Vrancken, Joey S. G. Mombarg +4
In this work, we seek to characterise a large sample of 14377 main sequence eclipsing binaries in terms of their stellar, asteroseismic, and orbital properties. We conduct manual v…
Observing Binaries
Hugues Sana, Jasmine Vrancken
Binary stars are dynamical systems formed by two stars that are physically bound by the gravitational force. Binary stars are privileged laboratories, allowing one to measure the f…
Constraining the overcontact phase in massive binary evolution -- III. Period stability of known B+B and O+B overcontact systems
Jasmine Vrancken, Michael Abdul-Masih, Ana Escorza +3
Binary systems play a crucial role in massive star evolution. Systems composed of B-type and O-type stars are of particular interest due to their potential to lead to very energeti…
