Refined reduction and standardisation of 53 years of UBV photometry at Hvar

Hrvoje Božić, Petr Harmanec, Miroslav Brož +17

Emission-line stars classified as Be exhibit light and colour variability on various timescales, ranging from days to decades. Their evolution must be constrained by long-term obse…

An IXPE-Led X-ray Spectro-Polarimetric Campaign on the Soft State of Cygnus X-1: X-ray Polarimetric Evidence for Strong Gravitational Lensing

James F. Steiner, Edward Nathan, Kun Hu +134

We present the first X-ray spectropolarimetric results for Cygnus X-1 in its soft state from a campaign of five IXPE observations conducted during 2023 May-June. Companion multiwav…

MWC656: A Be+BH or a Be+sdO?

Th. Rivinius, R. Klement, S. D. Chojnowski +3

MWC656 has been reported as classical Be star with a black hole companion. Revisited spectral variability properties render this unlikely, with a hot subdwarf more probable.

V410 Puppis: A useful laboratory for early stellar evolution

Ahmet Erdem, Derya Surgit, Burcu Ozkardes +6

New spectrometric (HERCULES) and ground-based multi-colour photometric data on the multiple star V410 Puppis are combined with satellite photometry (HIPPARCOS and TESS), as well as…

HR 6819 is a binary system with no black hole -- revisiting the source with infrared interferometry and optical integral field spectroscopy

A. J. Frost, J. Bodensteiner, Th. Rivinius +16

Two scenarios have been proposed to match the existing observational constraints of the object HR 6819. The system could consist of a close inner B-type giant plus a black hole (BH…

Spectroscopy of the massive interacting binary UU Cassiopeiae

P. Hadrava, M. Cabezas, G. Djurašević +9

Context. The eclipsing close binary UU Cas is an interacting massive double-periodic system with a gainer star partly hidden in an accretion disk. Aims. In order to study the physi…
