The optical high-resolution spectral archive of the HERMES spectrograph mounted on the 1.2m Mercator telescope

Hans Van Winckel, Saskia Prins, Gert Raskin +13

Context. The HERMES spectrograph is a high-resolution, fibre-fed optical spectrograph of the 1.2m Mercator telescope operated from the Roque de los Muchachos observatory in Spain.…

Binary central stars of planetary nebulae with long orbits: the radial velocity orbit of BD+33.2642 (PN G052.7+50.7) and the orbital motion of HD112313 (PN LoTr5)

Hans Van Winckel, Alain Jorissen, Katrina Exter +4

We study the impact of binary interaction processes on the evolution of low- and intermediate-mass stars using long-term monitoring of their radial velocity. Here we report on our…
