On-sky demonstration of dual-field interferometry at the CHARA Array

Narsireddy Anugu, John D. Monnier, Douglas R. Gies +10

Dual-field interferometry uses a bright reference star for real-time fringe tracking, allowing a second beam combiner to record long coherent integrations on a fainter off-axis sci…

Empirical H- and K-band Limb Darkening for 31 CHARA Stars: A Near-Infrared Benchmark for Stellar-Atmosphere Models

Narsireddy Anugu, John D. Monnier, Antoine Mérand +9

Limb darkening, the decrease in stellar intensity from the disk center to the limb, encodes the temperature structure and opacity of stellar atmospheres. Direct spatially resolved…

Detection and Astrometry of the Ba-Bb Subsystem in Piscium: First Dual-Field Interferometry at the CHARA Array

Narsireddy Anugu, Robert Klement, John D. Monnier +14

We present the first on-sky demonstration of dual-field interferometry at the CHARA Array and the first direct resolution of the inner Ba--Bb subsystem in the bright hierarchical t…

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…

Spatially resolved centrifugal magnetosphere caught in motion around the secondary component of Oph A

R. Klement, M. E. Shultz, Th. Rivinius

The recently discovered spectroscopic binary Oph A is a rare magnetic hot binary system composed of two early B-type stars, comprising a non-magnetic primary (Aa) and a slightl…

Binary stars take what they get: Evidence for Efficient Mass Transfer from Stripped Stars with Rapidly Rotating Companions

Thibault Lechien, Selma E. de Mink, Ruggero Valli +5

Binary stars and their interactions shape the formation of compact binaries, supernovae, and gravitational wave sources. The efficiency of mass transfer - the fraction of mass reta…

VLTI/GRAVITY enables the determination of the first dynamical masses of a classical Be + stripped and bloated pre-subdwarf binary

R. Klement, Th. Rivinius, D. Baade +7

HR~6819 is the first post-mass transfer binary system composed of a classical Be star and a bloated pre-subdwarf stripped star directly confirmed by interferometry. While the Be st…

Orbits and Dynamical Masses for Six Binary Systems in the Hyades Cluster

Guillermo Torres, Gail H. Schaefer, Robert P. Stefanik +8

We report long baseline interferometric observations with the CHARA Array that resolve six previously known double-lined spectroscopic binary systems in the Hyades cluster, with or…

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…
