The Dynamic Inner Disk of a Planet Forming Star

Benjamin R. Setterholm, John D. Monnier, Fabien Baron +13

Planets are a natural byproduct of the stellar formation process, resulting from local aggregations of material within the disks surrounding young stars. Whereas signatures of gas-…

Magnetically driven winds from accretion disks in post-asymptotic giant branch binaries

Olivier Verhamme, Jacques Kluska, Jonathan Ferreira +4

Context. Jets are commonly detected in post-asymptotic giant branch (post-AGB) binaries and originate from an accretion process onto the companion of the post-AGB primary. These je…

The structure of jets launched from post-AGB binary systems

Dylan Bollen, Devika Kamath, Hans Van Winckel +4

We focus on post-asymptotic giant branch (post-AGB) binaries and study the interaction between the different components of these complex systems. These components comprise the post…

Multi-wavelength VLTI study of the puffed-up inner rim of a circumbinary disc

A. Corporaal, J. Kluska, H. Van Winckel +3

The presence of stable, compact circumbinary discs of gas and dust around post-asymptotic giant branch (post-AGB) binary systems has been well established. We focus on one such sys…

Multiplicity of Galactic Luminous Blue Variable stars

L. Mahy, C. Lanthermann, D. Hutsemékers +7

Context. Luminous Blue Variables (LBVs) are thought to be in a transitory phase between O stars on the main-sequence and the Wolf-Rayet stage. Recent studies suggest that they migh…

A triple star system with a misaligned and warped circumstellar disk shaped by disk tearing

Stefan Kraus, Alexander Kreplin, Alison K. Young +29

Young stars are surrounded by a circumstellar disk of gas and dust, within which planet formation can occur. Gravitational forces in multiple star systems can disrupt the disk. The…
