Interferometric view into RT Pav's long secondary period. binary vs oscillatory convective modes
B. Courtney-Barrer, X. Haubois, P. Wood +6
Long secondary periods (LSPs) occur in about one-third of evolved stars, yet their origin remains unclear. The leading explanations are oscillatory convective modes and a binary co…
Characterizing the Post-Red Supergiant binary system AFGL 4106 and its complex nebula with SPHERE/VLT
G. Tomassini, E. Lagadec, I. El Mellah +6
Aims: We aim to characterize the physical and morphological properties of the binary system AFGL 4106, composed of two evolved massive stars. Understanding its mass-loss processes…
Don't torque like that. Measuring compact object magnetic fields with analytic torque models
J. J. R. Stierhof, E. Sokolova-Lapa, K. Berger +10
Context. Changes of the rotational period observed in various magnetized accreting sources are generally attributed to the interaction between the in-falling plasma and the large-s…
Whispering in the dark: Faint X-ray emission from black holes with OB star companions
Koushik Sen, Ileyk El Mellah, Norbert Langer +3
Context. Recent astrometric and spectroscopic surveys of OB stars have revealed a few stellar-mass black holes (BHs) with orbital periods as low as 10 days. No X-ray counterpart ha…
Radiography in high mass X-ray binaries -- Micro-structure of the stellar wind through variability of the column density
I. El Mellah, V. Grinberg, J. O. Sundqvist +2
In high mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs), an accreting compact object orbits a high mass star which loses mass through a dense and inhomogeneous wind. Using the compact object as an X-r…
