Toward 3D orbits of wide sdO/B binaries I. Six composite systems spatially resolved with VLTI/GRAVITY
K. Deshmukh, S. Geier, H. Sana +7
The authors use VLTI/GRAVITY long‑baseline interferometry to spatially resolve six wide hot subdwarf (sdO/B) + main‑sequence binary systems, providing precise separations that will…
Studying hot evolved stars with ultraviolet spectroscopy
Stephan Geier, Nicole Reindl, Matti Dorsch +7
Hot evolved stars are key objects to reconstruct the various evolutionary pathways of Sun-like stars, to probe binary interactions and the physics of supernovae. They serve as powe…
Stars on the ascending helium giant branch I. From white dwarf merger to helium giant: the evolutionary state of the rapidly rotating hot subdwarf HE 1518-0948
M. Pritzkuleit, M. Dorsch, M. M. Miller Bertolami +3
Hot subdwarf stars with masses above ascend the helium giant branch after the end of core helium burning, before entering the white dwarf cooling track or exploding a…
Two hot pre-white dwarfs inside the red-giant-branch planetary nebula Pa 13 -- Double core evolution or common envelope-induced rejuvenation?
Nicole Reindl, David Jones, Todd Hillwig +4
Close binary central stars of PNe offer a unique window for investigating the conditions immediately following the ejection of a common envelope (CE). Double eclipsing and double-l…
Discovery of a runaway star likely ejected by a Type Iax Supernova
A. Bhat, M. Hollands, M. Dorsch +5
Over the past decade, runaway stars have been identified, believed to originate either as surviving donors of Type Ia supernovae or as partially deflagrated accretors producing Typ…
Spectral evolution of hot hybrid white dwarfs: II. Photometry
Semih Filiz, Nicole Reindl, David Jones +4
We present a photometric analysis of 19 DA and 13 DAO white dwarfs (WDs) with effective temperatures exceeding 60 kK, building on the spectral analysis reported in the first paper…
