The changing optical and X-ray emission of the dormant Cas star HD 45314
G. Rauw, Y. Nazé, E. Bryssinck +25
Cas stars are Oe/Be stars that exhibit bright and hard X-ray emission. HD45314 belonged to this category, but lost its Cas characteristics as its circumstellar disc started…
Spectroscopic Analysis of the 2025 Eclipse of the Symbiotic Binary V1413 Aquilae
David Boyd, James Foster, Forrest Sims +12
We report on a coordinated campaign by amateur astronomers using a combination of high and low resolution spectroscopy to observe the 2025 eclipse of the symbiotic binary V1413 Aql…
Orbital parameters of the bright binary alpha Draconis based on amateur spectra from the STAROS database
G. Bertrand, C. Buil, M. Le Lain +20
We present the results of a STAROS monitoring campaign on the bright eclipsing binary star alpha Draconis. Over 200 high-resolution spectra were obtained by an international group…
HD 5501: A Rapidly Evolving Interacting Eclipsing Binary with a Variable Light Curve and H Emission
Richard O. Gray, Christopher. J. Corbally, Sean Curry +19
HD~5501, a hitherto little studied eclipsing binary with an early A-type primary, has been caught in a short-lived, astrophysically interesting phase of its binary evolution. Recen…
