Benchmark stars for Gaia: fundamental properties of the Population II star HD140283 from interferometric, spectroscopic and photometric data

O. Creevey, F. Thévenin, P. Berio +17

We determined the fundamental properties of HD 140283 by obtaining new interferometric and spectroscopic measurements and combining them with photometry from the literature. The in…

Improving the surface brightness-color relation for early-type stars using optical interferometry

M. Challouf, N. Nardetto, D. Mourard +18

The aim of this work is to improve the SBC relation for early-type stars in the color domain, using optical interferometry. Observations of eight B- and A-type…

Optical interferometry and adaptive optics of bright transients

Florentin Millour, Olivier Chesneau, Anthony Meilland +1

Bright optical transients (i.e. transients typically visible with the naked eye) are populated mainly by novae eruptions plus a few supernovae (among which the SN1987a event). One…

The Araucaria Project. OGLE-LMC-CEP-1718: An exotic eclipsing binary system composed of two classical overtone Cepheids in a 413-day orbit

W. Gieren, B. Pilecki, G. Pietrzynski +11

We have obtained extensive high-quality spectroscopic observations of the OGLE-LMC-CEP-1718 eclipsing binary system in the Large Magellanic Cloud which Soszynski et al. (2008) had…

The operation of VEGA/CHARA : from the scientific idea to the final products

Roxanne Ligi, Denis Mourard, Nicolas Nardetto +1

We describe the data flow in the operation of the VEGA/CHARA instrument. After a brief summary of the main characteristics and scientific objectives of the VEGA instrument, we expl…

The yellow hypergiant HR 5171 A: Resolving a massive interacting binary in the common envelope phase

O. Chesneau, A. Meilland, E. Chapellier +20

We initiated long-term optical interferometry monitoring of the diameters of unstable yellow hypergiants (YHG) with the goal of detecting both the long-term evolution of their radi…
