An update of SB9 orbits using HERMES/Mercator radial velocities

Thibault Merle, Dimitri Pourbaix, Alain Jorissen +3

The Gaia mission is delivering a large number of astrometric orbits for binary stars. By combining these with spectroscopic orbits for systems with two observable spectra (SB2), it…

The Red Rectangle: a thin disk with big grains

Javier Alcolea, Valentin Bujarrabal, Arancha Castro-Carrizo +3

The Red Rectangle is a nebula surrounding the post-AGB star HD 44179. It is the prototype of a particular class of nebulae associated with post-AGB binaries characterised by the pr…

The very compact dust disk in the Red Rectangle

V. Bujarrabal, J. Alcolea, A. Castro-Carrizo +3

We aim to study the dust distribution in the central regions of the Keplerian disk of the Red Rectangle, the prototype of binary post-AGB stars with rotating circumbinary disks, an…

Titans metal-poor reference stars II. Red giants and CEMP stars

Riano E. Giribaldi, Sophie Van Eck, Thibault Merle +6

Representative samples of F-, G-, K-type stars located out of the Solar Neighbourhood has started to be available in spectroscopic surveys. The fraction of metal-poor ([Fe/H]~$\les…

Second-generation protoplanetary discs around evolved binaries: a high-resolution polarimetric view with SPHERE/IRDIS

Kateryna Andrych, Devika Kamath, Jacques Kluska +3

Binary post-asymptotic giant branch (post-AGB) stars are products of a poorly understood binary interaction process that occurs during the AGB phase. These systems comprise of a po…

Everything that glitters is not gold: V1315 Cas is not a dormant black hole

J. Zak, D. Jones, H. M. J. Boffin +11

The quest for quiet or dormant black holes has been ongoing since several decades. Ellipsoidal variables possibly indicate the existence of a very high-mass invisible companion and…
