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…
Bridging stellar evolution and planet formation: from birth, to survivors of the fittest, to the second generation of planets
Akke Corporaal, Toon De Prins, Léa Planquart +10
Stars and planets form, live, and evolve in unison. Throughout the life of a star, dusty circumstellar discs and stellar outflows influence the further evolution of both the star(s…
Abundance Analysis of Chemically Depleted Post-AGB/Post-RGB Binaries with Faint Discs
Maksym Mohorian, Devika Kamath, Meghna Menon +4
Post-AGB and post-RGB binaries with stable circumbinary discs provide key insights into late stellar and disc evolution, revealing how binary interactions shape disc structure and…
SPHERE/ZIMPOL insights into discs around evolved stars: arcs, asymmetries and dust properties
Kateryna Andrych, Devika Kamath, Hans Van Wincke +5
Second-generation circumbinary discs around evolved binary stars, such as post-Asymptotic Giant Branch (post-AGB) binaries, provide insights into poorly understood mechanisms of du…
Tracing Chemical Depletion in Evolved Binaries Hosting Second-Generation Transition Discs
Maksym Mohorian, Devika Kamath, Meghna Menon +4
The mechanisms responsible for chemical depletion across diverse astrophysical environments are not yet fully understood. In this paper, we investigate chemical depletion in post-A…
Multiwavelength high-resolution polarimetric imaging of second-generation disc around post-AGB binary IRAS 08544-4431 with SPHERE
Kateryna Andrych, Devika Kamath, Hans Van Winckel +4
Exploring the formation and evolution of second-generation circumbinary discs around evolved binary stars, such as post-Asymptotic Giant Branch (post-AGB) and post-Red Giant Branch…
