Signs of a faint disc population at polluted white dwarfs

Carolina Bergfors, Jay Farihi, Patrick Dufour +1

Observations of atmospheric metals and dust discs around white dwarfs provide important clues to the fate of terrestrial planetary systems around intermediate mass stars. We presen…

The frequency and infrared brightness of circumstellar discs at white dwarfs

M. Rocchetto, J. Farihi, B. T. Gaensicke +1

White dwarfs whose atmospheres are polluted by terrestrial-like planetary debris have become a powerful and unique tool to study evolved planetary systems. This paper presents resu…

SPOTS: The Search for Planets Orbiting Two Stars. I. Survey description and first observations

Christian Thalmann, Silvano Desidera, Mariangela Bonavita +13

Direct imaging surveys for exoplanets commonly exclude binary stars from their target lists, leaving a large part of the overall planet demography unexplored. To address this gap i…

Orbital Monitoring of the AstraLux Large M-dwarf Multiplicity Sample

Markus Janson, Carolina Bergfors, Wolfgang Brandner +6

Orbital monitoring of M-type binaries is essential for constraining their fundamental properties. This is particularly useful in young systems, where the extended pre-main sequence…

The AstraLux Multiplicity Survey: Extension to Late M-dwarfs

Markus Janson, Carolina Bergfors, Wolfgang Brandner +4

The distribution of multiplicity among low-mass stars is a key issue to understanding the formation of stars and brown dwarfs, and recent surveys have yielded large enough samples…

Characterization of the Benchmark Binary NLTT 33370

J. E. Schlieder, M. Bonnefoy, T. M. Herbst +16

We report the confirmation of the binary nature of the nearby, very low-mass system NLTT 33370 with adaptive optics imaging and present resolved near-infrared photometry and integr…
