First visual orbit for the prototypical colliding-wind binary WR 140
J. D. Monnier, Ming Zhao, E. Pedretti +14
Wolf-Rayet stars represent one of the final stages of massive stellar evolution. Relatively little is known about this short-lived phase and we currently lack reliable mass, distan…
Mid-infrared size survey of Young Stellar Objects: Description of Keck segment-tilting experiment and basic results
J. D. Monnier, P. G. Tuthill, M. Ireland +3
The mid-infrared properties of pre-planetary disks are sensitive to the temperature and flaring profiles of disks for the regions where planet formation is expected to occur. In or…
A Tale of Two Herbig Ae stars -MWC275 and AB Aurigae: Comprehensive Models for SED and Interferometry
A. Tannirkulam, J. D. Monnier, T. J. Harries +12
We present comprehensive models for the Herbig Ae stars MWC275 and AB Aur that aim to explain their spectral energy distribution (from UV to millimeter) and long baseline interfero…
Discovery of a Circumbinary Disk around Herbig Ae/Be system v892 Tau
J. D. Monnier, A. Tannirkulam, P. G. Tuthill +4
We report the discovery of a circumbinary disk around the Herbig Ae/Be system v892 Tau. Our detailed mid-infrared images were made using segment-tilting interferometry on the Keck-…
Long-wavelength excesses of FU Orionis objects: flared outer disks or infalling envelopes?
Zhaohuan Zhu, Lee Hartmann, Nuria Calvet +3
The mid- to far-infrared emission of the outbursting FU Orionis objects has been attributed either to a flared outer disk or to an infalling envelope. We revisit this issue using d…
Strong Near-Infrared Emission Interior to the Dust-Sublimation Radius of Young Stellar Objects MWC275 and AB Aur
A. Tannirkulam, J. D. Monnier, R. Millan-Gabet +7
Using the longest optical-interferometeric baselines currently available, we have detected strong near-infrared (NIR) emission from inside the dust-destruction radius of Herbig Ae…
