Revisiting BV & BW Draconis: Detailed Study of Intriguing Multiple System
J. J. Tokarek, W. Dimitrov, M. Polińska +6
The BV & BW Draconis system is a unique coplanar system of two eclipsing contact binaries. The main objective of this study is to develop a model based on new observations. The onl…
Characterization of the variability of the blue supergiant HD 14134
Suryani Guha, Michaela Kraus, Julieta P. Sanchez Arias +2
The post-main sequence (MS) evolution of massive stars encompasses phases in which the stars display high variability. One such class of objects are the blue supergiants which may…
Asteroid sizes determined with thermophysical model and stellar occultations
A. Choukroun, A. Marciniak, J. Ďurech +165
Context. The sizes of many asteroids, especially slowly rotating, low-amplitude targets, remain poorly constrained due to selection effects. These biases limit the availability of…
Discovering features in gravitational-wave data through detector characterization, citizen science and machine learning
S Soni, C P L Berry, S B Coughlin +18
The observation of gravitational waves is hindered by the presence of transient noise (glitches). We study data from the third observing run of the Advanced LIGO detectors, and ide…
Rotational modulation and single g-mode pulsation in the B9pSi star HD174356?
Z. Mikulasek, E. Paunzen, S. Huemmerich +19
Chemically peculiar (CP) stars of the upper main sequence are characterised by specific anomalies in the photospheric abundances of some chemical elements. The group of CP2 stars,…
Signatures of a jet cocoon in early spectra of a supernova associated with a -ray burst
L. Izzo, A. de Ugarte Postigo, K. Maeda +39
Long gamma-ray bursts mark the death of massive stars, as revealed by their association with energetic broad-lined stripped-envelope supernovae. The scarcity of nearby events and t…
Ori and Lib: Two new massive heartbeat binaries
Andrzej Pigulski, Monika K. Kaminska, Krzysztof Kaminski +28
We report the discovery of two massive eccentric systems with BRITE data, Ori and Lib, showing heartbeat effects close to the periastron passage. Lib exhibits shallow e…
Interplay between pulsations and mass loss in the blue supergiant 55 Cygnus = HD 198478
M. Kraus, M. Haucke, L. S. Cidale +14
Blue supergiant stars are known to display photometric and spectroscopic variability that is suggested to be linked to stellar pulsations. Pulsational activity in massive stars str…
Spectroscopic survey of Kepler stars. I. HERMES/Mercator observations of A- and F-type stars
E. Niemczura, S. J. Murphy, B. Smalley +21
The Kepler space mission provided near-continuous and high-precision photometry of about 207,000 stars, which can be used for asteroseismology. However, for successful seismic mode…
A search for pulsations in the HgMn star HD 45975 with CoRoT photometry and ground-based spectroscopy
T. Morel, M. Briquet, M. Auvergne +28
The existence of pulsations in HgMn stars is still being debated. To provide the first unambiguous observational detection of pulsations in this class of chemically peculiar object…
Absolute properties of the main-sequence eclipsing binary FM Leo
M. Ratajczak, T. Kwiatkowski, A. Schwarzenberg-Czerny +9
First spectroscopic and new photometric observations of the eclipsing binary FM Leo are presented. The main aims were to determine orbital and stellar parameters of two components…
Asteroseismology of hybrid pulsators made possible: simultaneous MOST space photometry and ground-based spectroscopy of Gamma Peg
G. Handler
We have acquired simultaneous high-precision space photometry and radial velocities of the bright hybrid Beta Cep/SPB pulsator Gamma Peg. Frequency analyses reveal the presence of…
V440 Per: the longest period overtone Cepheid
R. Baranowski, R. Smolec, W. Dimitrov +9
V440 Per is a Population I Cepheid with the period of 7.57 day and low amplitude, almost sinusoidal light and radial velocity curves. With no reliable data on the 1st harmonic, its…
MOST photometry and DDO spectroscopy of the eclipsing (white dwarf + red dwarf) binary V471 Tau
Krzysztof Z. Kaminski, Slavek M. Rucinski, Jaymie M. Matthews +7
The Hyades K2V+WD system 471 Tau is a prototype post-common envelope system and a likely cataclysmic binary progenitor. We present 10 days of nearly continuous optical photometry b…
