Evolved stars, multiplicity and planets: Shaping and Being Shaped by Stellar Evolution
Theo Khouri, Wouter Vlemmings, Elvire De Beck +21
Understanding how planets and stellar companions survive and interact with their host stars as they evolve, or are ultimately destroyed in the process, is essential both for predic…
MATISSE unveils a dusty disc in the interior of EP Aquarii. First evidence of a misaligned hierarchical triple system with a central AGB star?
J. Alonso-Hernández, C. Paladini, C. Sánchez Contreras +26
Aims. We have mapped the dust and molecular gas emission distributions in the vicinity (a few stellar radii) of the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) star EP\,Aquarii, with a previousl…
Spectroscopic monitoring of long secondary period variables. The case of J-type carbon stars
L. Planquart, A. Jorissen, H. Van Winckel
Long-secondary-period (LSP) variables are a subclass of long-period variables whose origin is a matter of debate. J-type carbon stars are a subclass of carbon stars enriched in 13C…
Multiplicity of Cool Stars and their Evolution
Matthew I. Swayne, Leen Decin, Theo Khouri +12
Making up a sizeable portion of the galactic census, stellar multiples are experiencing a renaissance. Enabling the study of multiple strands of the study of cool stars, stellar mu…
Periodic activity on the (sub)mm surface of the AGB star Mira A
M. Andriantsaralaza, B. Bojnordi Arbab, W. Vlemmings +7
Evolved stars on the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) lose mass through stellar winds launched from their dynamic extended atmospheres. Recent high-angular-resolution observations of…
A giant magnetic eruption from the asymptotic giant branch star Mira A
W. Vlemmings, M. Andriantsaralaza, B. Bojnordi Arbab +14
Mass loss during the advanced evolutionary stages of low- and intermediate-mass stars is traditionally attributed to dust-driven winds, whereas the influence of magnetic fields rem…
Bridging stellar evolution and planet formation: from birth, to survivors of the fittest, to the second generation of planets
Akke Corporaal, Toon De Prins, Léa Planquart +10
Stars and planets form, live, and evolve in unison. Throughout the life of a star, dusty circumstellar discs and stellar outflows influence the further evolution of both the star(s…
X TrA through the eyes of MATISSE: More evidence of clumpy molecular layers around C-type asymptotic giant branch stars
V. Răstău, C. Paladini, J. Drevon +22
Aims. The goal of this study is to further the understanding of the wind formation mechanism in asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars through the analysis of the close environment (w…
Circumbinary disc interactions and stochastic dust obscuration in the post-asymptotic-giant-branch binary HD 213985
Krystian Ilkiewicz, Lea Planquart, Tomek Kaminski +1
HD 213985 is an eccentric binary system with a post-AGB primary and a jet-launching secondary star. We confirm that the system photometric variability is likely due to obscuration…
Resolving the mass transfer in the symbiotic recurrent nova T Coronae Borealis
L. Planquart, A. Jorissen, H. Van Winckel
T Coronae Borealis (T CrB) is a symbiotic recurrent nova with an 80-year recurrence interval whose next eruption is imminent. We aim to resolve the accretion mechanism of the binar…
An impressionist view of V Hydrae. When MATISSE paints Asymmetric Giant Blobs
L. Planquart, C. Paladini, A. Jorissen +29
Our purpose is to study the effect of binary companions located within the first 10 stellar radii from the primary AGB star. In this work, we target the mass-losing carbon star V H…
A dynamic view of V Hydrae. Monitoring of a spectroscopic-binary AGB star with an alkaline jet
L. Planquart, A. Jorissen, A. Escorza +2
The well studied carbon star V Hydrae is known to exhibit a complex asymmetric environment made of a dense equatorial wind and high-velocity outflows, hinting at its transition fro…
Discovery of a dormant 33 solar-mass black hole in pre-release Gaia astrometry
Gaia Collaboration, P. Panuzzo, T. Mazeh +412
Gravitational waves from black-hole merging events have revealed a population of extra-galactic BHs residing in short-period binaries with masses that are higher than expected base…
Titans metal-poor reference stars II. Red giants and CEMP stars
Riano E. Giribaldi, Sophie Van Eck, Thibault Merle +6
Representative samples of F-, G-, K-type stars located out of the Solar Neighbourhood has started to be available in spectroscopic surveys. The fraction of metal-poor ([Fe/H]~$\les…
