- Description:
- Revealing the fragmentation, infall, and outflow processes in the immediate environment around massive young stellar objects is crucial for understanding the formation of the most massive stars. With this goal in mind we present the so far highest spatial-resolution thermal submm line and continuum observations toward the young high-mass protostar NGC 7538 IRS1. Using the Plateau de Bure Interferometer in its most extended configuration at 843um wavelength, we achieved a spatial resolution of 0.2"x0.17", corresponding to ~500AU at a distance of 2.7kpc.

- Description:
- High-mass stars have a high degree of multiplicity and most likely form via disk accretion processes. The detailed physics of the binary and disk formation are still poorly constrained. We seek to resolve the central substructures of the prototypical high-mass star-forming region NGC7538IRS1 at the highest possible spatial resolution line and continuum emission to investigate the protostellar environment and kinematics. Using the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) in its most extended configuration at ~24GHz has allowed us to study the NH_3_ and thermal CH_3_OH emission and absorption as well as the cm continuum emission at an unprecedented spatial resolution of 0.06"x0.05", corresponding to a linear resolution of ~150AU at a distance of 2.7kpc.

- Description:
- The aim of this paper is to understand the relation in active galactic nuclei (AGNs) between the small obscuring torus and dusty structures at larger scales (5-10pc). The dusty structures in AGNs are best observed in the mid-infrared. To achieve the necessary spatial resolution (20-100 milliarcsec) we use ESO's Mid-Infrared Interferometer (MIDI) with the 1.8m Auxiliary Telescopes. We use the chromatic phases in the data to improve the spatial fidelity of the analysis.

- Description:
- The host galaxies of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have been claimed to have experienced a recent inflow of gas from the intergalactic medium. This is because their atomic gas distribution is not centred on their optical emission and because they are deficient in molecular gas given their high star-formation rates. Similar studies have not been conducted for host galaxies of relativistic supernovae (SNe), which may have similar progenitors. The potential similarity of the powering mechanisms of relativistic SNe and GRBs allowed us to make a prediction that relativistic SNe are born in environments similar to those of GRBs, i.e. rich in atomic gas. Here we embark on testing this hypothesis by analysing the properties of the host galaxy NGC 3278 of the relativistic SN 2009bb. This is the first time the atomic gas properties of a relativistic SN host is analysed and the first time resolved 21cm hydrogen line (HI) information is provided for a host of a SN of any type. We obtained radio observations with Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) covering HI line; and optical integral field unit spectroscopy observations with Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) at the Very Large Telescope (VLT). Moreover, we analysed archival carbon monoxide (CO) and broad-band data for this galaxy. The atomic gas distribution of NGC3278 is not centred on the optical galaxy centre, but instead around a third of atomic gas resides in the region close to the SN position. This galaxy has a few times lower atomic and molecular gas masses than predicted from its star formation rate (SFR). Its specific star formation rate (sSFR=SFR/M*) is ~2-3 times higher than the main-sequence value, placing it at the higher end of the main sequence towards starburst galaxies. SN 2009bb exploded close to the region with the highest SFR density and the lowest age, as evident from high Halpha EW, corresponding to the age of the stellar population of ~5.5Myr. Assuming this timescale was the lifetime of the progenitor star, its initial mass would have been close to ~36M_{sun}_. As for GRB hosts, the gas properties of NGC3278 are consistent with a recent inflow of gas from the intergalactic medium, which explains the concentration of atomic gas close to the SN position and the enhanced SFR. Super-solar metallicity at the position of the SN (unlike for most of GRBs) may mean that relativistic explosions signal a recent inflow of gas (and subsequent star-formation), and their type (GRBs or SNe) is determined by either i) the metallicity of the inflowing gas (metal-poor gas results in a GRB explosion and metal-rich gas in a relativistic SN explosion without an accompanying GRB), or ii) by the efficiency of gas mixing (efficient mixing for SN hosts leading to quick disappearance of metal-poor regions), or iii) by the type of the galaxy (more metal-rich galaxies would result in only a small fraction of star-formation to be fuelled by metal-poor gas).

- Description:
- We report 370 measures of 170 components of binary and multiple-star systems, obtained from speckle imaging observations made with the Differential Speckle Survey Instrument (DSSI) at Lowell Observatory's Discovery Channel Telescope in 2015 through 2017. Of the systems studied, 147 are binary stars, 10 are seen as triple systems, and 1 quadruple system is measured. Seventy-six high-quality nondetections and 15 newly resolved components are presented in our observations. The uncertainty in relative astrometry appears to be similar to our previous work at Lowell, namely, linear measurement uncertainties of approximately 2mas, and the relative photometry appears to be uncertain at the 0.1-0.15mag level. Using these measures and those in the literature, we calculate six new visual orbits, including one for the Be star 66Oph and two combined spectroscopic-visual orbits. The latter two orbits, which are for HD22451 (YSC127) and HD185501 (YSC135), yield individual masses of the components at the level of 2% or better, and independent distance measures that in one case agrees with the value found in the Gaia DR2 and in the other disagrees at the 2{sigma} level. We find that HD22451 consists of an F6V+F7V pair with orbital period of 2401.1{+/-}3.2days and masses of 1.342{+/-}0.029 and 1.236{+/-}0.026M_{sun}_. For HD185501, both stars are G5 dwarfs that orbit one another with a period of 433.94{+/-}0.15days, and the masses are 0.898{+/-}0.012 and 0.876{+/-}0.012M_{sun}_. We discuss the details of both the new discoveries and the orbit objects.

- Description:
- Observations of young stellar objects (YSOs) in centimeter bands can probe the continuum emission from growing dust grains, ionized winds, and magnetospheric activity, which are intimately connected to the evolution of protoplanetary disks and the formation of planets. We have carried out sensitive continuum observations toward the Ophiuchus A star-forming region using the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) at 10GHz over a field-of-view of 6' with a spatial resolution of {theta}_maj_x{theta}_min_~0.4"x0.2". We achieved a 5{mu}Jy/beam root-mean-square noise level at the center of our mosaic field of view. Among the eighteen sources we detected, sixteen are YSOs (three Class 0, five Class I, six Class II, and two Class III) and two are extragalactic candidates.We find that thermal dust emission generally contributes less that 30% of the emission at 10GHz. The radio emission is dominated by other types of emission such as gyro-synchrotron radiation from active magnetospheres, free-free emission from thermal jets, free-free emission from the outflowing photo-evaporated disk material, and/or synchrotron emission from accelerated cosmic-rays in jet or protostellar surface shocks. These different types of emission could not be clearly disentangled. Our non-detections towards Class II/III disks suggest that extreme UV-driven photoevaporation is insufficient to explain the disk dispersal, assuming that the contribution of UV photoevaporating stellar winds to radio flux does not evolve with time. The sensitivity of our data cannot exclude photoevaporation due to X-ray photons as an efficient mechanism for disk dispersal. Deeper surveys with the Square Kilometre Array will be able to provide strong constraints on disk photoevaporation.

- Description:
- We present interferometric observations of six O-type stars that were made with the Precision Astronomical Visible Observations beam combiner at the Center for High Angular Resolution Astronomy (CHARA) Array. The observations include multiple brackets for three targets, {lambda} Ori A, {zeta} Oph, and 10 Lac, but there are only preliminary, single observations of the other three stars, {xi} Per, {alpha} Cam, and {zeta} Ori A. The stellar angular diameters range from 0.55mas for {zeta} Ori A down to 0.11mas for 10 Lac, the smallest star yet resolved with the CHARA Array. The rotational oblateness of the rapidly rotating star {zeta} Oph is directly measured for the first time. We assembled ultraviolet to infrared flux measurements for these stars, and then derived angular diameters and reddening estimates using model atmospheres and an effective temperature set by published results from analysis of the line spectrum. The model-based angular diameters are in good agreement with those observed. We also present estimates for the effective temperatures of these stars, derived by setting the interferometric angular size and fitting the spectrophotometry.

- Description:
- Orbits of 44 close and fast visual binaries are computed using the latest speckle observations; 23 orbits are determined for the first time, and the rest are revisions, some of those substantial. Six combined orbits use radial velocities. The median period is 15.6 years, and the shortest period is one year. Most stars are nearby late-type dwarfs. Dynamical parallaxes and estimates of the masses are derived from the orbital elements and the photometry of the components.

- Description:
- The orbits of 55 visual binary stars are computed using recent speckle interferometry data from the SOAR telescope: 33 first-time orbits and 22 revisions of previous orbit calculations. The orbital periods range from 1.4-370 years, and the quality of the orbits ranges from definitive to preliminary and tentative. Most binaries consist of low-mass dwarfs and have short periods (median period 31 years). The dynamical parallaxes and masses are evaluated and compared to the Hipparcos parallaxes. Using differential speckle photometry, binary components are placed on the color-magnitude diagram.

- Description:
- Each of the nearby triple systems HIP 7601, 13498, 23824, and 113597 (HD 10800, 18198, 35877, 217379) consist of solar-type dwarfs with comparable masses, where all three components are resolved spectrally, while the outer pairs are resolved both visually and spectrally. These stars are relatively young (between 100 and 600Myr) and chromospherically active (X-ray sources), although they rotate slowly. I determine the spectroscopic orbits of the inner subsystems (periods 19.4, 14.1, 5.6, 20.3days) and the orbits of the outer systems (periods 1.75, 51, 27, 500years, respectively). For HIP 7601 and 13498, the combined spectro-interferometric outer orbits produce direct measurement of the masses of all of the components, allowing for a comparison with stellar models. The 6708{AA} lithium line is present and its strength is measured in each component individually by subtracting the contributions of the other components. The inner and outer orbits of HIP 7601 are nearly circular, likely co-planar, and have a modest period ratio of 1:33. This study contributes to the characterization of hierarchical multiplicity in the solar neighborhood and provides data for testing stellar evolutionary models and chronology.
