Discovery of a brown dwarf companion to the A3V star β Circini

L. C. Smith, P. W. Lucas, C. Contreras Peña +14

We report the discovery of an L dwarf companion to the A3V star β Circini. VVV J151721.49-585131.5, or β Cir B, was identified in a proper motion and parallax catalogue of the Vist…

New OB star candidates in the Carina Arm around Westerlund 2 from VPHAS+

M. Mohr-Smith, J. E. Drew, G. Barentsen +12

O and early B stars are at the apex of galactic ecology, but in the Milky Way, only a minority of them may yet have been identified. We present the results of a pilot study to sele…

The VMC ESO Public Survey

M. -R. L. Cioni, P. Anders, G. Bagheri +31

The VISTA near-infrared YJKs survey of the Magellanic Clouds system (VMC) has entered its core phase: about 40% of the observations across the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LM…

Rotational properties of single and wide binary subdwarf B stars

S. Geier, U. Heber, H. Edelmann +2

We measured projected rotational velocities of more than a hundred apparently single sdBs. A comparison is made with sdB stars in binary systems with orbits so wide, that tidal int…

Evolved solar systems in Praesepe

S. L. Casewell, M. R. Burleigh, P. D. Dobbie +1

We have obtained near-IR photometry for the 11 Praesepe white dwarfs, to search for an excess indicative of a dusty debris disk. All the white dwarfs are in the DAZ temperature reg…

Anyone out there? Galactic Halo Post-AGB stars

S. Weston, R. Napiwotzki, S. Catalán

We present results of a survey of post-asymptotic giant branch stars (post-AGBs) at high galactic latitude. To date, few post-AGB stars are known throughout the Galaxy and the numb…
