Plato benchmark stars I. The initial benchmark sample
T. Merle, P. F. L. Maxted, O. L. Creevey +22
The ESA PLATO mission aims to detect and characterise Earth-size exoplanets orbiting bright, late-type stars using high-precision photometry and asteroseismology. Precise stellar p…
Multi-chromatic observations of classical Cepheids using the CHARA Array interferometer: Surface brightness-colour relation, projection factor, and limb-darkening
M. C. Bailleul, N. Nardetto, D. Mourard +28
The Baade-Wesselink (BW) method compares the linear and angular variations of Cepheids to derive their distance. This method is limited, however, by the projection factor, which re…
Interferometric Survey of Stellar Parameters: Mass of the metallic A-type binary Aur
J. Jonák, D. Mourard, J. D. Monnier +23
With the capabilities of the new visible CHARA/SPICA instrument and the multiple spectral band operation of CHARA, our goal is to resolve orbits of short-period binaries and develo…
Interferometric Survey of Stellar Parameters: Towards homogeneous FGK stars parameters and surface-brightness color relation in the context of PLATO space mission
Romina V. Ibañez Bustos, Denis Mourard, Nicolas Nardetto +20
The estimation of stellar angular diameters can be performed from the surface brightness - color relation (SBCR) and photometry. The SBCR have been considered by the PLATO space mi…
Pre-nova Observations of T CrB: A view from the CHARA Array
Ryan Norris, Narsireddy Anugu, Thomas Gaudin +38
T CrB is a symbiotic recurrent nova consisting of a red giant and white dwarf with recent eruptions in 1866 and 1946 and an anticipated eruption in the mid 2020s. We report CHARA A…
Characterisation of magnetic activity of M dwarfs. Possible impact on the surface brightness
R. V. Ibañez Bustos, A. P. Buccino, N. Nardetto +3
Context. M dwarfs are an ideal laboratory for hunting Earth-like planets, and the study of chromospheric activity is an important part of this task. On the one hand, its short-term…
Asymmetries on red giant branch surfaces from CHARA/MIRC optical interferometry
A. Chiavassa, R. Norris, M. Montargès +14
Context. Red giant branch (RGB) stars are very bright objects in galaxies and are often used as standard candles. Interferometry is the ideal tool to characterize the dynamics and…
Benchmark stars for Gaia: fundamental properties of the Population II star HD140283 from interferometric, spectroscopic and photometric data
O. Creevey, F. Thévenin, P. Berio +17
We determined the fundamental properties of HD 140283 by obtaining new interferometric and spectroscopic measurements and combining them with photometry from the literature. The in…
Improving the surface brightness-color relation for early-type stars using optical interferometry
M. Challouf, N. Nardetto, D. Mourard +18
The aim of this work is to improve the SBC relation for early-type stars in the color domain, using optical interferometry. Observations of eight B- and A-type…
Time, spatial, and spectral resolution of the Halpha line-formation region of Deneb and Rigel with the VEGA/CHARA interferometer
Olivier Chesneau, Luc Dessart, D. Mourard +22
BA-type supergiants are amongst the most optically-bright stars. They are observable in extragalactic environments, hence potential accurate distance indicators. Emission activity…
