Pre-nova Observations of T CrB: A view from the CHARA Array
Ryan Norris, Narsireddy Anugu, Thomas Gaudin +38
T CrB is a symbiotic recurrent nova consisting of a red giant and white dwarf with recent eruptions in 1866 and 1946 and an anticipated eruption in the mid 2020s. We report CHARA A…
Multiple outflows and delayed ejections revealed by early imaging of novae
Elias Aydi, John D. Monnier, Antoine Mérand +39
Novae are thermonuclear eruptions on accreting white dwarfs in interacting binaries. Although most of the accreted envelope is expelled, the mechanism -- impulsive ejection, multip…
Surprise non-detection of Upsilon Andromedae b with MIRC-X and MYSTIC at the CHARA Array
Tyler Gardner, John D. Monnier, Stefan Kraus +11
Ground-based long baseline interferometry is a powerful tool for characterizing exoplanets which are too close to their host star to be imaged with single-dish telescopes. The CHAR…
HD 143006: Interferometric Confirmation of Misaligned Protoplanetary Disc with CHARA/MIRCX and VLTI/PIONIER
I. Codron, S. Kraus, J. D. Monnier +7
The outer regions of the protoplanetary disc surrounding the T Tauri star HD 143006 show rings, dust asymmetries and shadows. Whilst rings and dust asymmetries can arise from compa…
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 s…
Newborn Be star systems observed shortly after mass transfer
Th. Rivinius, R. Klement, S. D. Chojnowski +24
Many classical Be stars acquire their very rapid rotation by mass and angular-momentum transfer in massive binaries. Short-lived intermediate-phase objects have only been discovere…
