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…

The PLATO Science Calibration and Validation Plan: Targets for the First Long-pointing Field

Konstanze Zwintz, Conny Aerts, Andrew Tkachenko +56

In order to meet the science goals of the PLATO space mission, an extensive science calibration and validation plan has been designed. This paper describes this plan, as well as th…

Exploiting tidal asteroseismology in binary populations from combined space photometry and time-resolved high-resolution spectroscopy

Ema Šipková, Alex Kemp, Dario Fritzewski +4

Space-based photometry has substantially increased the number of pulsating stars found in binary systems by more than four orders of magnitude. Combined with high-resolution spectr…

Mixing due to internal gravity waves can explain the CNO surface abundances of B-type detached eclipsing binaries and single stars

Hannah E. Brinkman, Andrew Tkachenko, Conny Aerts

Observations of double-lined spectroscopic eclipsing binaries are ideal to study stellar evolution. They have tight model-independent constraints on their masses and radii. With th…

Orbital and Physical Properties of the Pleiades Binary 27 Tau (Atlas)

G. Torres, A. Tkachenko, K. Pavlovski +12

We report new spectroscopic and interferometric observations of the Pleiades binary star Atlas, which played an important role nearly three decades ago in settling the debate over…
