Evidence for the Keplerian orbit of a close companion around a giant star

Mats Esseldeurs, Leen Decin, Joris De Ridder +31

Close companions influence stellar evolution through tidal interactions, mass transfer, and mass loss effects. While such companions are detected around young stellar objects, main…

Eppur si eclissa: Eccentric low-mass companions and time-in-dust selection explain long secondary periods

Leen Decin, Owen Vermeulen, Mats Esseldeurs +5

[abbreviated] Long Secondary Periods (LSPs) are observed in about one third of pulsating red giants yet remain unexplained. Four key observational constraints anchor the discussion…

Impact of a binary companion in AGB outflows on CO spectral lines

Owen Vermeulen, Mats Esseldeurs, Jolien Malfait +7

In the late stage of their evolution, low- to intermediate-mass stars pass through the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) phase, characterised by strong mass loss through dust driven wi…

Binarity at LOw Metallicity (BLOeM): Bayesian inference of natal kicks from inert black hole binaries

R. Willcox, P. Marchant, A. Vigna-Gómez +15

Context. The emerging population of inert black hole binaries (BHBs) provides a unique opportunity to constrain black hole (BH) formation physics. These systems are composed of a s…

An accreting dwarf star orbiting the S-type giant star pi1 Gru

M. Montargès, J. Malfait, M. Esseldeurs +20

Aims. We aim to characterize the properties of the inner companion of the S-type AGB star pi1 Gru and to identify plausible future evolutionary scenarios for this triple system. Me…

ATOMIUM: Continuum emission and evidence of dust enhancement from binary motion

T. Danilovich, N. Samaratunge, Y. Mori +35

Low- and intermediate-mass stars on the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) account for a significant portion of the dust and chemical enrichment in their host galaxy. Here we present AL…
