CHARA/SPICA: The six-telescope visible combiner and near-infrared fringe tracker for the CHARA Array
D. Mourard, P. Bério, C. Bailet +43
The suite called Stellar Parameters and Images with a Cophased Array (SPICA) has two interferometric instruments installed at the focus of the CHARA Array located at Mount Wilson,…
The Hot, Continuum-compact State of the Yellow Hypergiant V509 Cassiopeiae: CHARA Diameters, CO-band Angular-extension Constraints, and Companion Limits
Narsireddy Anugu, Gail H. Schaefer, Douglas R. Gies +4
Yellow hypergiants are rare, evolved massive stars generally interpreted as post-red-supergiant objects evolving blueward through or near the dynamically unstable Yellow Evolutiona…
On-sky demonstration of dual-field interferometry at the CHARA Array
Narsireddy Anugu, John D. Monnier, Douglas R. Gies +10
Dual-field interferometry uses a bright reference star for real-time fringe tracking, allowing a second beam combiner to record long coherent integrations on a fainter off-axis sci…
Detection and Astrometry of the Ba-Bb Subsystem in Piscium: First Dual-Field Interferometry at the CHARA Array
Narsireddy Anugu, Robert Klement, John D. Monnier +14
We present the first on-sky demonstration of dual-field interferometry at the CHARA Array and the first direct resolution of the inner Ba--Bb subsystem in the bright hierarchical t…
Time-Evolution Images of the Hypergiant RW Cephei During the Re-brightening Phase Following the Great Dimming
Narsireddy Anugu, Douglas R. Gies, Rachael M. Roettenbacher +17
Stars with initial masses larger than 8 solar masses undergo substantial mass loss through mechanisms that remain elusive. Unraveling the origins of this mass loss is important for…
