Revisiting symbiotic binaries with interferometry: II. New PIONIER data
Henri M. J. Boffin, Jaroslav Merc
Symbiotic stars, which generally comprise a red giant and an accreting white dwarf, are excellent laboratories to understand mass transfer in wide binaries, with application to a w…
Revisiting symbiotic binaries with interferometry. I. The PIONIER archival collection
Jaroslav Merc, Henri M. J. Boffin
Symbiotic stars serve as exceptional laboratories for investigating mass transfer processes in binary systems. However, the dominant mechanism of mass transfer from the red giant d…
Optical constraints on the coldest metal-poor population
Jerry Jun-Yan Zhang, Nicolas Lodieu, Eduardo L. Martín +10
The coldest metal-poor population made of T and Y dwarfs are archaeological tracers of our Galaxy because they are very old and have kept the pristine material. The optical propert…
The importance of binary stars
Henri M. J. Boffin, David Jones
Stars are mostly found in binary and multiple systems, as at least 50% of all solar-like stars have companions - a fraction that goes up to 100% for the most massive stars. Moreove…
Unequivocal detection of the tidal deformation of a red giant in a binary system via interferometry
Jaroslav Merc, Henri M. J. Boffin
While mass transfer in binary systems is a crucial aspect of binary evolution models, it remains far from understood. HD 352 is a spectroscopic binary exhibiting ellipsoidal variab…
When Tails Tell Tales
Henri M. J. Boffin
The enigmatic open clusters serve as a constant reminder of the mysteries of the universe, helping to confront astronomical theories. Unknown to many, these clusters often possess…
