Finding the elusive RR Lyrae companions via speckle imaging

R. Salinas, V. Kalari, G. Hajdu +25

Despite their key role in astrophysics, the binary properties of RR Lyrae stars (RRL) remain almost completely unknown since only a single RRL is confirmed as belonging to a binary…

Period-Luminosity Relations, projection factor and radii of Anomalous Cepheids

Piotr Wielgórski, Grzegorz Pietrzyński, Wolfgang Gieren +24

Anomalous Cepheids are radially pulsating stars observed in dwarf galaxies, the Galactic bulge and halo, and globular clusters. Similarly to other radially pulsating stars, they ca…

Is the Symbiotic Recurrent Nova T CrB Late? Recent Photometric Evolution and Comparison with Past Pre-Outburst Behaviour

Jaroslav Merc, Łukasz Wyrzykowski, Paul G. Beck +46

T CrB is a symbiotic recurrent nova that last erupted in 1946. Given its recurrence timescale of approximately 80 years, the next outburst is eagerly anticipated by the astronomica…

Solving the mystery of extreme light variability in the massive eccentric system MACHO 80.7443.1718

Piotr A. Kołaczek-Szymański, Piotr Łojko, Andrzej Pigulski +2

The evolution of massive stars is heavily influenced by their binarity, and the massive eccentric binary system MACHO 80.7443.1718 (ExtEV) serves as a prime example. This study exp…

Massive heartbeat stars from TESS. I. TESS sectors 1-16

Piotr Antoni Kołaczek-Szymański, Andrzej Pigulski, Gabriela Michalska +2

Heartbeat stars are eccentric binaries exhibiting characteristic shape of brightness changes during periastron passage caused by tidal distortion of the components. Variable tidal…

Prospects for the ensemble asteroseismology in young open clusters

Dawid Moździerski, Andrzej Pigulski

This is a progress report on the ongoing project dealing with ensemble asteroseismology of B-type stars in young open clusters. The project is aimed at searches for B-type pulsatin…
