New spectroscopic binary companions of giant stars and updated metallicity distribution for binary systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We report the discovery of 24 spectroscopic binary companions to giant stars. We fully constrain the orbital solution for 6 of these systems. We cannot unambiguously derive the orbital elements for the remaining stars because the phase coverage is ...

Gravitoastronomy with neutron stars [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Recent advances in gravitational wave detectors mean that we can start to make astrophysically important statements about the physics of neutron stars based on observed upper limits to their gravitational luminosity.

Three-dimensional Orbit of AC Her Determined: Binary-induced Truncation Cannot Explain the Large Cavity in This Post-AGB Transition Disk

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Some evolved binaries, namely post–asymptotic giant branch (AGB) binaries, are surrounded by stable and massive circumbinary disks similar to protoplanetary disks found around young stars. Around 10% of these disks are transition disks: they have a large

The Calibration of Interferometrically Determined Properties of Binary Stars [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 1985
With the advent of speckle interferometry, high angular resolution has begun to play a routine role in the study of binary stars. Speckle and other interferometric techniques not only bring enhanced resolution to this classic and fundamental field but provide an equally important gain in observational accuracy.

A Search for Gravitational Waves from Perturbed Black Hole Ringdowns in LIGO Data [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
According to General Relativity a perturbed black hole will return to a stable configuration by the emission of gravitational radiation in a superposition of quasi-normal modes. Such a perturbation will occur due to the coalescence of a black hole binary,

Precise Age for the Binary Star System 12 Com in the Coma Berenices Cluster

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
We present measurements of the interferometrically resolved binary star system 12 Com and the single giant star 31 Com in the cluster Coma Berenices. 12 Com is a double-lined spectroscopic binary system consisting of a G7 giant and an A3 dwarf at the ...

Orbital Elements of visual binary stars with very short arcs: With application to double stars from the 1829 southern double star catalog of James Dunlop [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Binary double stars are those whose binding energies are less than zero. Obtaining binary star orbits from short arcs has been a long-standing problem in astrophysics.

The New Version of the Binary Star Database (BDB)

open access: yesOpen Astronomy, 2012
The Binary star database contains data on about 100 000 stellar systems of multiplicity 2 to 22, taken from a large variety of published catalogues for all types of binary stars: visual, orbital, astrometric, interferometric, spectroscopic, photometric ...

The Interferometric Binary ϵ Cnc in Praesepe: Precise Masses and Age [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
We observe the brightest member of the Praesepe cluster, Epsilon Cnc, to precisely measure the characteristics of the stars in this binary system, en route to a new measurement of the cluster’s age.
