Hertzsprung-Russell diagram and mass distribution of barium stars

A. Escorza, H. M. J. Boffin, A. Jorissen +6

With the availability of parallaxes provided by the Tycho-Gaia Astrometric Solution, it is possible to construct the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram (HRD) of barium and related stars w…

Jet creation in post-AGB binaries: the circum-companion accretion disc around BD+46442

D. Bollen, H. Van Winckel, D. Kamath

We aim at describing and understanding binary interaction processes in systems with very evolved companions. Here, we focus on understanding the origin and determining the properti…

MASCARA-1 b: A hot Jupiter transiting a bright A-star in a misaligned orbit

G. J. J. Talens, S. Albrecht, J. F. P. Spronck +11

We report the discovery of MASCARA-1 b, the first exoplanet discovered with the Multi-site All-Sky CAmeRA (MASCARA). It is a hot Jupiter orbiting a bright , rapidly rotati…

The long-period binary central stars of the planetary nebulae NGC 1514 and LoTr 5

David Jones, Hans Van Winckel, Alba Aller +2

The importance of long-period binaries on the formation and evolution of planetary nebulae is still rather poorly understood, in part due to the lack of central star systems known…

SALT HRS discovery of a long period double-degenerate binary in the planetary nebula NGC 1360

B. Miszalski, R. Manick, J. Mikołajewska +3

Whether planetary nebulae (PNe) are predominantly the product of binary stellar evolution as some population synthesis models (PSM) suggest remains an open question. Around 50 shor…

Lithium abundance and rotation of seismic solar analogues - Solar and stellar connection from Kepler and Hermes observations

P. G. Beck, J. -D. do Nascimento, T. Duarte +13

Lithium abundance A(Li) and surface rotation are good diagnostic tools to probe the internal mixing and angular momentum transfer in stars. We explore the relation between surface…
