The first determination of the viscosity parameter in the circumstellar disk of a Be Star

Alex C. Carciofi, Jon E. Bjorkman, Sebastián A. Otero +5

Be stars possess gaseous circumstellar decretion disks, which are well described using standard -disk theory. The Be star 28 CMa recently underwent a long outburst followed by a…

First HARPSpol discoveries of magnetic fields in massive stars

E. Alecian, O. Kochukhov, C. Neiner +14

In the framework of the Magnetism in Massive Stars (MiMeS) project, a HARPSpol Large Program at the 3.6m-ESO telescope has recently started to collect high-resolution spectropolari…

The 2011 outburst of the recurrent novaT Pyx. Evidence for a face-on bipolar ejection

Olivier Chesneau, A. Meilland, D. P. K. Banerjee +19

We report on near-IR interferometric observations of the outburst of the recurrent nova T Pyx. We obtained near-IR observations of T Pyx at dates ranging from t=2.37d to t=48.2d af…

HR 5907: Discovery of the most rapidly rotating magnetic B-type star by the MiMeS Collaboration

J. H. Grunhut, Th. Rivinius, G. A. Wade +15

We report the discovery and analysis of a very strong magnetic field in the rapidly rotating early B-type star HR 5907, based on observations obtained as part of the Magnetism in M…

AMBER high-spectral resolution interferometry of Be stars: More than just stars and disks?

S. Stefl, T. Rivinius, D. Baade +1

High spectral-resolution Br-gamma VLTI/AMBER observations of classical Be stars reveal complex visibility, phase, and closure phase profiles, which were not seen in previous lower-…
