Binarity at LOw Metallicity (BLOeM): The multiplicity properties and evolution of BAF-type supergiants
Given the uncertain evolutionary status of blue supergiant stars, their multiplicity properties hold vital clues to better understand their origin and evolution...
Binarity at the L/T brown dwarf transition. Adaptive optics search for companions
Context: Current atmospheric models cannot reproduce some of the characteristics of the transition between the L dwarfs with cloudy atmospheres and the T dwarfs...
Binary Central Stars of Planetary Nebulae Discovered Through Photometric Variability. III. The Central Star of Abell 65
A growing number of close binary stars are being discovered among central stars of planetary nebulae. Recent and ongoing surveys are finding new systems and...
Binary central stars of planetary nebulae identified with Kepler/K2
We present the identification of 34 likely binary central stars (CSs) of planetary nebulae (PNe) from Kepler/K2 data, seven of which show eclipses. Of these, 29...
Binary Companions of Evolved Stars in APOGEE DR14: Search Method and Catalog of ∼5000 Companions
Multi-epoch radial velocity measurements of stars can be used to identify stellar, substellar, and planetary-mass companions. Even a small number of observation...
Binary frequency of planet-host stars at wide separations. A new brown dwarf companion to a planet-host star
Aims: The aim of the project is to improve our knowledge on the multiplicity of planet-host stars at wide physical separations. Methods: We cross-matched...
Binary star population of the Sculptor dwarf galaxy
Aims: We aim to compute the binary fraction of "classical" dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs) that are satellites of the Milky Way (MW). This value can offer...
Binary stars as the key to understanding planetary nebulae
Planetary nebulae are traditionally considered to represent the final evolutionary stage of all intermediate-mass stars (∼0.7-8 M⊙). Recent evidence seems to...
