Spectroscopic Orbits of Subsystems in Multiple Stars. IX [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
New spectroscopic orbits of inner subsystems in 14 hierarchies are determined from long-term monitoring with the optical echelle spectrometer, CHIRON.

CCD Photometry Using Multiple Comparison Stars [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2004
The accuracy of CCD observations obtained at the Korean 1.8 m telescope has been studied. Seventeen comparison stars in the vicinity of the cataclysmic variable BG CMi have been measured.

Follow-Up and Validation of K2 and TESS Planetary Systems With Keck NIRC2 Adaptive Optics Imaging

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021
High resolution imaging (HRI) is a critical part of the transiting exoplanet follow-up and validation process. HRI allows previously unresolved stellar companions and background blends to be resolved, vetting false positive signals and improving the ...

Architecture of Hierarchical Stellar Systems and Their Formation

open access: yesUniverse, 2021
Accumulation of new data on stellar hierarchical systems and the progress in numerical simulations of their formation open the door to genetic classification of these systems, where properties of a certain group (family) of objects are tentatively ...

Twin High-Resolution, High-Speed Imagers for the Gemini Telescopes: Instrument Description and Science Verification Results

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021
Two new imaging instruments, ‘Alopeke and Zorro, were designed, built, and commissioned at the Gemini-North and Gemini-South telescopes in 2018 and 2019, respectively. Here we describe them and present the results from over a year of operation.

Multiplicity of Massive Stars [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 2001
We discuss the observed multiplicity of massive stars and implications on theories of massive star formation. After a short summary of the literature on massive star multiplicity, we focus on the O-and B-type stars in the Orion Nebula Cluster, which constitute a homogenous sample of very young massive stars.

Dynamics of Four Triple Systems

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
Orbital motions in four hierarchical stellar systems discovered by speckle interferometry are studied. Their inner orbits are relatively well constrained, while the long outer orbits are less certain.

V907 Sco Switched to the Eclipsing Mode Again

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
V907 Scorpii is a unique triple system in which the inner binary component has been reported to have switched on and off eclipses several times in modern history.

Multiple Populations in Star Clusters

open access: yesUniverse, 2022
We review the multiple population (MP) phenomenon of globular clusters (GCs): i.e., the evidence that GCs typically host groups of stars with different elemental abundances and/or distinct sequences in photometric diagrams. Most Galactic and extragalactic clusters exhibit internal variations of He, C, N, O, Na, and Al.

Born to Be Wide: The Distribution of Wide Binaries in the Field and Soft Binaries in Clusters

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Most stars, binaries, and higher-multiplicity systems are thought to form in stellar clusters and associations that later dissociate. Very wide binaries can be easily disrupted in clusters due to dynamical evaporation (soft binaries) and/or tidal ...
