12 Bootis: the need for asteroseismic constraints
A. Miglio, J. Montalban, C. Maceroni +2
12 Bootis is a double-lined spectroscopic binary whose orbit has been resolved by interferometry. We present a detailed modelling of the system and show that the available observat…
CoRoT and the search for exoplanets. The Italian contribution
E. Poretti, A. F. Lanza, C. Maceroni +2
The space mission CoRoT (COnvection, ROtation and planetary Transits) will offer the possibility to detect extrasolar planets by means of the transit method. The satellite will obs…
Binaries as astrophysical laboratories: an overview
Carla Maceroni
The study of binary stars is worth to undertake not only to learn more about the properties of binaries as such, but also because binaries are multi-purpose astrophysical tools. Th…
The impact of CoRoT on close binary research
Carla Maceroni, Ignasi Ribas
The space experiment CoRoT will provide continuous monitoring and high accuracy light curves of about sixty thousand stars. Selected binary systems will be observed in the Addition…
85Peg A: which age for a low metallicity solar like star?
F. D'Antona, D. Cardini, M. P. Di Mauro +3
We explore the possible evolutionary status of the primary component of the binary 85 Pegasi, listed as a target for asteroseismic observations by the MOST satellite. In spite of t…
Surface imaging of late-type contact binaries II: Halpha 6563 A emission in AE Phoenicis and YY Eridani
O. Vilhu, C. Maceroni
We present and discuss the Halpha (6563 A) observations of the contact (W UMa type) binaries AE Phoenicis and YY Eridani, obtaineded in 1989, 1990 and 1995 with the CAT/CES telesco…
A-type stars: evolution, rotation and binarity
A. Noels, J. Montalban, C. Maceroni
We discuss the internal structure of stars in the mass range 1.5 to 4 M_sun from the PMS to the subgiant phase with a particular emphasis on the convective core and the convective…
The shortest period M-dwarf eclipsing system BW3 V38, II: determination of absolute elements
C. Maceroni, J. Montalban
The spectroscopic data for the short-period (0.1984 d)eclipsing binary V38, discovered by the OGLE micro-lensing team in Baade's Window field BW3, are analyzed. Radial velocity cur…
Lithium during the AGB evolution in young open clusters of the Large Magellanic cloud
C. Maceroni, V. testa, B. Plez +2
We present the results of mid-resolution spectroscopy in the LiI 6708 AA spectral region of Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars belonging to young open clusters of the Large Magell…
Eclipsing Binaries in the OGLE Variable Star Catalogs.V. Long-Period Beta Lyrae-type Systems in the Small Magellanic Cloud and the PLC-beta Relation
Slavek M. Rucinski, Carla Maceroni
Thirty eight long-period (P>10 days), apparently contact binary stars discovered by the OGLE-II project in the SMC appear to be Beta Lyrae-type systems with ellipsoidal variations…
Eclipsing Binaries in the OGLE Variable Star Catalog. IV. The Pre-Contact, Equal-Mass Systems
Carla Maceroni, Slavek M. Rucinski
We used the database of eclipsing binaries detected by the OGLE microlensing project in the pencil-beam search volume toward Baade's Window to define a sample of 74 detached, equal…
The shortest-period M-dwarf eclipsing system BW3 V38
Carla Maceroni, Slavek M. Rucinski
The photometric data for a short-period (0.1984 day) eclipsing binary V38 discovered by the OGLE micro-lensing team in Baade's W indow field BW3 have been analyzed. The de-reddened…
New pulsational properties of eight "anomalous" RR Lyrae variables
G. Clementini, M. Tosi, A. Bragaglia +2
CCD photometry in the V band is presented for 7 field RR Lyrae stars selected from a sample of eight variables which, according to data collected in the literature, are expected to…
