Spectroscopic monitoring of long secondary period variables. The case of J-type carbon stars

L. Planquart, A. Jorissen, H. Van Winckel

Long-secondary-period (LSP) variables are a subclass of long-period variables whose origin is a matter of debate. J-type carbon stars are a subclass of carbon stars enriched in 13C…

ALMA's sharpest view of IRAS 08544-4431: Unveiling the dust distribution asymmetries in the circumbinary disk

Maksym Mohorian, Devika Kamath, Elizabeth Cappellazzo +10

The interactions between post-asymptotic giant branch (post-AGB) binaries and their circumbinary disks play a central role in shaping the evolution of these systems. Circumbinary d…

The optical high-resolution spectral archive of the HERMES spectrograph mounted on the 1.2m Mercator telescope

Hans Van Winckel, Saskia Prins, Gert Raskin +13

Context. The HERMES spectrograph is a high-resolution, fibre-fed optical spectrograph of the 1.2m Mercator telescope operated from the Roque de los Muchachos observatory in Spain.…

Can circumbinary discs produce the eccentricities of shell-burning stripped giant binaries?

C. A. S. Moltzer, O. R. Pols, H. Van Winckel

Post-RGB and post-AGB binaries, collectively shell-burning stripped giant (SBSG) binaries, contain a primary star recently stripped of its envelope, alongside a main-sequence compa…

The symphony of pulsations and binarity among massive stars using HERMES spectroscopy and TESS photometry

K. Thomson-Paressant, D. M. Bowman, F. Nardini +16

A wide range of variability mechanisms exist among intermediate mass and massive stars, which are not yet fully understood. Using complementary data sources for a large population…

VLTI/PIONIER imaging of post-AGB binaries. An INSPIRING hunt for inner rim substructures in circumbinary discs

Toon De Prins, Akke Corporaal, Jacques Kluska +10

We image the detailed inner rim morphology for a sample of post-AGB circumbinary discs observed using NIR interferometry. At resolutions down to ~1-2 mas (corresponding to ~1-10 AU…
