Multi-epoch VLTI-PIONIER imaging of the supergiant V766 Cen: Image of the close companion in front of the primary
M. Wittkowski, F. J. Abellan, B. Arroyo-Torres +10
The star V766 Cen (=HR 5171A) was originally classified as a yellow hypergiant but lately found to more likely be a 27-36 Msun red supergiant (RSG). Recent observations indicated a…
Science cases for a visible interferometer
Philippe Stee, France Allard, Myriam Benisty +54
High spatial resolution is the key for the understanding various astrophysical phenomena. But even with the future E-ELT, single dish instruments are limited to a spatial resolutio…
VLTI/PIONIER images the Achernar disk swell
G. Dalla Vedova, F. Millour, A. Domiciano de Souza +5
Context. The mechanism of disk formation around fast-rotating Be stars is not well understood. In particular, it is not clear which mechanisms operate, in addition to fast rotation…
Numerical simulations and infrared spectro-interferometry reveal the wind collision region in gamma2 Velorum
A. Lamberts, F. Millour, A. Liermann +10
Colliding stellar winds in massive binary systems have been studied through their radio, optical lines and strong X-ray emission for decades. More recently, near-infrared spectroin…
