Atomium: The astounding complexity of the near circumstellar environment of the M-type AGB star R Hydrae. I. Morpho-kinematical interpretation of CO and SiO emission

Ward Homan, Bannawit Pimpanuwat, Fabrice Herpin +36

Evolved low- to intermediate-mass stars are known to shed their gaseous envelope into a large, dusty, molecule-rich circumstellar nebula which typically develops a high degree of s…

Atomium: A high-resolution view on the highly asymmetric wind of the AGB star Pi1 Gruis. I. First detection of a new companion and its effect on the inner wind

Ward Homan, Miguel Montarges, Bannawit Pimpanuwat +35

The nebular circumstellar environments of cool evolved stars are known to harbour a rich morphological complexity of gaseous structures on different length scales. A large part of…

(Sub)stellar companions shape the winds of evolved stars

L. Decin, M. Montargès, A. M. S. Richards +32

Binary interactions dominate the evolution of massive stars, but their role is less clear for low- and intermediate-mass stars. The evolution of a spherical wind from an asymptotic…

Wind Roche lobe overflow in high mass X-ray binaries : a possible mass transfer mechanism for Ultraluminous X-ray sources

I. El Mellah, J. O. Sundqvist, R. Keppens

Ultra-luminous X-ray sources (ULX) have so high X-ray luminosities that they were long thought to be accreting intermediate mass black holes. Yet, some ULX have been shown to displ…

Formation of wind-captured discs in Supergiant X-ray binaries : consequences for Vela X-1 and Cygnus X-1

I. El Mellah, A. A. C. Sander, J. O. Sundqvist +1

In Supergiant X-ray binaries (SgXB), a compact object captures a fraction of the wind of an O/B supergiant on a close orbit. Proxies exist to evaluate the efficiency of mass and an…

The clumpy absorber in the high-mass X-ray binary Vela X-1

V. Grinberg, N. Hell, I. El Mellah +13

Bright and eclipsing, the high-mass X-ray binary Vela X-1 offers a unique opportunity to study accretion onto a neutron star from clumpy winds of O/B stars and to disentangle the c…
