CHARA Array Observations of the Evolved Components in Symbiotic Star Systems
Thomas Martin Gaudin, Ryan Norris, Magdalena Otulakowska-Hypka +30
The nature of the mechanisms that drive mass transfer in symbiotic stars remains an area of active research in stellar astronomy. Constraining the role that both stellar winds and…
Visual Orbits of Spectroscopic Binaries with the CHARA Array. V. HD 210763 and HD 221950
Kathryn V. Lester, Josephine Singleton, Alexandra M. Twomey +16
We present the visual orbits and dynamical masses of two longer period spectroscopic binary stars, HD 210763 and HD 221950, using long baseline interferometry with the CHARA Array…
The Small Separation A-Star Companion Population: Tentative Signatures of Enhanced Multiplicity with Primary Mass
Matthew De Furio, Tyler Gardner, John D. Monnier +6
We present updated results from our near-infrared long-baseline interferometry (LBI) survey to constrain the multiplicity properties of intermediate-mass A-type stars within 80 pc.…
Orbital and Physical Properties of the Pleiades Binary 27 Tau (Atlas)
G. Torres, A. Tkachenko, K. Pavlovski +12
We report new spectroscopic and interferometric observations of the Pleiades binary star Atlas, which played an important role nearly three decades ago in settling the debate over…
Precise Age For The Binary HD 21278 In The Young Alpha Persei Cluster
Christopher A. Danner, Eric L. Sandquist, Gail H. Schaefer +14
We present a study of the double-lined spectroscopic binary HD 21278 that contains one of the brightest main sequence stars in the young Persei open cluster. We analyzed new sp…
The Dynamic Inner Disk of a Planet Forming Star
Benjamin R. Setterholm, John D. Monnier, Fabien Baron +13
Planets are a natural byproduct of the stellar formation process, resulting from local aggregations of material within the disks surrounding young stars. Whereas signatures of gas-…
A Spectroscopic and Interferometric Study of W Serpentis Stars. I. Circumbinary Outflow in the Interacting Binary W Serpentis
Katherine Shepard, Douglas R. Gies, Gail H. Schaefer +6
W Serpentis is an eclipsing binary system and the prototype of the Serpentid class of variable stars. These are interacting binaries experiencing intense mass transfer and mass los…
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…
The CHARA Array interferometric program on the multiplicity of classical Be stars: new detections and orbits of stripped subdwarf companions
Robert Klement, Thomas Rivinius, Douglas R. Gies +8
Rapid rotation and nonradial pulsations enable Be stars to build decretion disks, where the characteristic line emission forms. A major but unconstrained fraction of Be stars owe t…
Interferometric detections of sdO companions orbiting three classical Be stars
R. Klement, G. H. Schaefer, D. R. Gies +17
Classical Be stars are possible products of close binary evolution, in which the mass donor becomes a hot, stripped O or B-type subdwarf (sdO/sdB), and the mass gainer spins up and…
