Visual Orbits of Wolf–Rayet Stars. I. The Orbit of the Dust-producing Wolf–Rayet Binary WR 137 Measured with the CHARA Array [PDF]
The Astrophysical JournalClassical Wolf–Rayet (W-R) stars are the descendants of massive OB stars that have lost their hydrogen envelopes and are burning helium in their cores prior to exploding as Type Ib/c supernovae.

Statistical Analysis of a Comprehensive List of Visual Binaries
Open Astronomy, 2015 Visual binary stars are the most abundant class of observed binaries. The most comprehensive list of data on visual binaries compiled recently by cross-matching the largest catalogues of visual binaries allowed a statistical investigation of ...

Some Photometric Characteristics of Population II Orbital Visual Binary Stars [PDF]
Open Astronomy, 2003 A MV ,B−V diagram for metal-deficient, kinematically selected thick disk and halo visual binary stars with known orbits is presented. The magnitude differences Δm between the components are analyzed.

Orbits of Binary Stars: from Visual Measures to Speckle Interferometry [PDF]
The Astronomical JournalKnowledge of the orbits of visual binary stars has always been one of the fundamentals of astronomy. Based historically on the visual measures, nowadays the orbits rely more (or exclusively) on the accurate speckle data.

On-Sky Demonstration of a Linear Band-limited Mask with Application to Visual Binary Stars [PDF]
, 2010 We have designed and built the first band-limited coronagraphic mask used for ground-based high-contrast imaging observations. The mask resides in the focal plane of the near-infrared camera PHARO at the Palomar Hale telescope and receives a well ...

Visual Binary Stars: Data to Investigate Formation of Binaries
Open Astronomy, 2016 Statistics of orbital parameters of binary stars as well as statistics of their physical characteristics bear traces of star formation history. However, statistical investigations of binaries are complicated by incomplete or missing observational data ...
