HD 26172: an active solar-type subgiant in a close binary system
Fang-Bin Meng, Li-Ying Zhu, Sheng-Bang Qian +5
We present the first comprehensive photometric and spectroscopic analysis of the RS CVn system HD 26172, robustly determining the previously debated evolutionary state of its prima…
Tidally Trapped Two-pole Pulsations Discovered in a Close Binary with a Massive Cephei Star
Ping Li, Wen-Ping Liao, Sheng-Bang Qian +4
Tidally tilted pulsators (TTPs), whose pulsation axis aligns with the binary's semi-major axis, represent a newly established class of oscillators in binary systems. While all prev…
Asteroseismology and Dynamics Reveal Interior Structure and Coeval Evolution in the Triply Post-Main-Sequence system DG Leo
Ping Li, Wen-Ping Liao, Sheng-Bang Qian +4
Scuti stars in binary or multiple systems serve as crucial probes for studying stellar pulsation and evolution. However, many such systems are not ideal for asteroseismology du…
Accretion rates of stellar-mass compact objects embedded in AGN discs
Cheng-Liang Jiao, Liying Zhu, Er-gang Zhao +1
Stellar-mass compact objects (COs) embedded in active galactic nucleus (AGN) discs are commonly assumed to accrete via Bondi or Bondi-Hoyle-Lyttleton (BHL) prescriptions, neglectin…
Deep and low mass-ratio contact binaries and their third bodies
Liying Zhu, Shengbang Qian, Wenping Liao +6
Deep and low mass-ratio contact binaries (DLMCBs) are believed to be in the final stage of their contact phase, potentially leading to the formation of fast-rotating single stars s…
