Spectroscopic Orbits of Subsystems in Multiple Stars. XI

open access: goldThe Astronomical Journal
Adding to the large radial velocity survey of nearby solar-type stars (summary in Tokovinin, 2023a), spectroscopic orbits are determined for four hierarchical systems: HIP 49442 (inner and outer periods of 164.55 days and 34 yr, respectively), HIP 55691 (

Presupernova Multiple Giant Eruptions in Massive Stars [PDF]

open access: greenThe Astrophysical Journal
Massive stars can exhibit giant eruptions with high mass loss shortly before their explosion as a core-collapse supernova. These multiple giant eruptions (MGEs) may have a commutative effect that brings the star to a different state, possibly one that ...

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.

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.

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 ...
