- Description:
- We present an analysis of 32 high-resolution echelle spectra of the pre-main sequence spectroscopic binary AK Sco obtained during 1998 and 2000, as well as a total of 72 photoelectric radial-velocity observations from the period 1986-1994. These data allow considerable improvement of the period and other orbital parameters of AK Sco. Our analysis also includes eight series of photometric observations in the uvby and Geneva seven-color systems from 1987, 1989, 1990, 1992, 1994 and 1997.

- Algol-type binaries. IX. V548 Cyg

- Description:
- We present a new UV light curve of the Algol eclipsing binary V548 Cyg obtained with the Lunar Ultraviolet Telescope. We model the UV light curve together with two previously published (B and V) light curves, primary star radial velocities, and eclipse timings in a unified multi-data-type solution and determine orbital parameters and absolute dimensions. Timing residuals hint at the presence of a third star in the system. This star is possibly the source of the third light that is needed to obtain a good fit to each of the light curves simultaneously. The light-time oscillation in the timing residuals has a period of either ~19 or ~46years. The third body orbit inclination would have to be low (23{deg} or 15{deg}, respectively) for the third star to have a mass of ~1.5M_{Sun}_, which would be expected for a main-sequence star of color B-V~0.32, as determined from the light curve solution. In an H-R diagram, the mass-gaining, primary component of V548 Cyg is located between the zero-age and terminal-age main sequence for solar composition stars, and close to the 0.4Gyr isochrone.

- Description:
- New differential UBV photoelectric photometry and echelle spectroscopy for the eclipsing binary AR Mon are presented. A total of 46 radial velocities for each component are obtained using the TODCOR procedure. We solve the new and previously published multicolor light curves simultaneously with the new radial velocities using the latest version of the Wilson-Devinney program. We confirm that AR Mon is a semidetached binary consisting of two evolved giant stars and is a member of the rare class of "cool Algols".

- A spectroscopic orbit for Regulus
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/682/L117
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present a radial velocity study of the rapidly rotating B star Regulus that indicates the star is a single-lined spectroscopic binary. The orbital period (40.11 days) and probable semimajor axis (0.35AU) are large enough that the system is not interacting at present. However, the mass function suggests that the secondary has a low mass (M_2_>0.30M_{sun}_), and we argue that the companion may be a white dwarf. Such a star would be the remnant of a former mass donor that was the source of the large spin angular momentum of Regulus itself.

- Astrometric orbit of HR 6046
- Short Name:
- J/AJ/134/1916
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- The previously known, 6yr single-lined spectroscopic binary HR 6046 has been speculated in the past to contain a compact object as the secondary. A recent study has redetermined the orbit with great accuracy and shown that the companion is an evolved but otherwise normal star of nearly identical mass to the primary, which is also a giant. The binary motion was detected by the Hipparcos mission but was not properly accounted for in the published astrometric solution. Here we use the Hipparcos intermediate data in combination with the spectroscopic results to revise that solution and establish the orbital inclination angle for the first time, and with it the absolute masses M_A_=1.38^+0.09^_-0.03_M_{sun}_ and M_B_=1.36^+0.07^_-0.02_M_{sun}_. Aided by other constraints, we investigate the evolutionary status and confirm that the primary star is approaching the tip of the red giant branch, while the secondary is beginning its first ascent.

- Astrometric orbits of SB9 stars

- CDS
- Description:
- Hipparcos Intermediate Astrometric Data (IAD) have been used to derive astrometric orbital elements for spectroscopic binaries from the newly released Ninth Catalogue of Spectroscopic Binary Orbits (S_B^9^_). This endeavour is justified by the fact that (i) the astrometric orbital motion is often difficult to detect without the prior knowledge of the spectroscopic orbital elements, and (ii) such knowledge was not available at the time of the construction of the Hipparcos Catalogue for the spectroscopic binaries which were recently added to the S_B^9^_ catalogue. Among the 1374 binaries from S_B^9^_ which have an HIP entry (excluding binaries with visual companions, or DMSA/C in the Double and Multiple Stars Annex), 282 have detectable orbital astrometric motion (at the 5% significance level). Among those, only 70 have astrometric orbital elements that are reliably determined (according to specific statistical tests), and for the first time for 20 systems. This represents a 8.5% increase of the number of astrometric systems with known orbital elements (The Double and Multiple Systems Annex contains 235 of those DMSA/O systems).

- AX Mon photometry and UV spectra
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/484/394
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- AX Monocerotis is a 232d, noneclipsing, interacting binary star that consists of a K giant, a Be-like giant, and a large amounts of circumstellar material. The K star is almost certainly a synchronous rotator and is probably in contact with its critical lobe. The Be star was believed to be a rapid rotator based on extremely wide absorption lines, but new spectra show that these lines arise from the circumstellar environment. Hydrogen emission, also circumstellar, is many times stronger than the continuum. Near-ultraviolet light curves exhibit a 0.5 mag dip near phase 0.75, but there is no such variability at longer wavelengths. Gas flow trajectories from the cusp of the K star toward the Be star provide a simple explanation for the photometric and spectroscopic behavior. We may have found a decreasing orbital period, but more data are necessary to confirm this result. We present several models for AX Mon based on (1) new and archival visible photometry, (2) archival ultraviolet spectroscopy, (3) new and archival visible spectroscopy, (4) new visible polarimetry, and (5) new radio photometry. Further observations, including optical interferometry, are proposed.

- Description:
- The visual A component of the Gliese 586AB system is a double-lined spectroscopic binary consisting of two cool stars with the exceptional orbital eccentricity of 0.976. Such an extremely eccentric system may be important for our understanding of low-mass binary formation. Precise stellar masses, ages, orbital elements, and rotational periods are a prerequisite for comparing stellar observations to angular-momentum evolution models.

- Description:
- We study the impact of binary interaction processes on the evolution of low- and intermediate-mass stars using long-term monitoring of their radial velocity. Here we report on our results on the central stars of two planetary nebulae (PNe): the well-studied spectrophotometric standard BD+33 2642 (central star of PNG 052.7+50.7) and HD 112313 (central star of PN LoTr5), the optical light of which is dominated by a rapidly rotating G star.

- BD+46 442 optical spectra

- Description:
- We aim at describing and understanding binary interaction processes in systems with very evolved companions. Here, we focus on understanding the origin and determining the properties of the high-velocity outflow observed in one such system. We present a quantitative analysis of BD+46 442, a post-AGB binary which shows active mass transfer that leads to the creation of a disk-driven outflow or jet. We obtained high-resolution optical spectra from the HERMES spectrograph, mounted on the 1.2m Flemish Mercator Telescope. By performing a time-series analysis of the H{alpha} profile, we dissected the different components of the system. We deduced the jet geometry by comparing the orbital phased data with our jet model. In order to image the accretion disk around the companion of BD+46 442, we applied the technique of Doppler tomography. Results: The orbital phase-dependent variations in the H{alpha} profile can be related to an accretion disk around the companion, from which a high-velocity outflow or jet is launched. Our model shows that there is a clear correlation between the inclination angle and the jet opening angle. The latitudinally dependent velocity structure of our jet model shows a good correspondence to the data, with outflow velocities at least higher than 400km/s. The intensity peak in the Doppler map might be partly caused by a hot spot in the disk, or a larger asymmetrical structure in the disk. We show that BD+46 442, is a result of a binary interaction channel. The origin of the fast outflow in this system can be attributed to a gaseous disk around the secondary component, which is most likely a main sequence star. Our analysis suggests the outflow to have a rather wide opening angle instead of being strongly collimated. Our time resolved spectral monitoring reveals the launching site of the jet in the binary BD+46 442. Similar orbital phase-dependent H{alpha} profiles are commonly observed in post-AGB binaries. Post-AGB binaries provide ideal test bets to study jet formation and launching mechanisms over a wide range of orbital conditions.
