New Distant Companions to Known Nearby Stars. Ii. Faint Companions of Hipparcos Stars and the Frequency of Wide Binary Systems
We perform a search for faint, common proper motion companions of Hipparcos stars using the recently published LSPM-north catalog of stars with proper motion μ > 0.15 yr−1. Our survey uncovers a total of 521 systems with angular separations 3 < ∆θ < 1500, with 15 triples and 1 quadruple. Our new list of wide systems with Hipparcos primaries includes 130 systems identified here for the first tim...
متن کاملBinary sdB Stars with Massive Compact Companions
The masses of compact objects like white dwarfs, neutron stars and black holes are fundamental to astrophysics, but very difficult to measure. We present the results of an analysis of subluminous B (sdB) stars in close binary systems with unseen compact companions to derive their masses and clarify their nature. Radial velocity curves were obtained from time resolved spectroscopy. The atmospher...
متن کاملThe detection of binary companions to subdwarf B stars ?
Intermediate dispersion spectroscopy of a sample of 40 hot subdwarf B stars between 5500 A and 9000 A has been obtained. The sample includes a large fraction of targets which have been studied photometrically. Seven targets show strong lines due to the infrared Ca ii triplet, the unequivocal signature of a cool companion. The positive Ca ii identiications include known photometric binaries and ...
متن کاملCompanions to Young Stars
Brown dwarfs occupy the important region in the mass range between stars and planets. Their existence, ambigious until only recently, and their properties give insight into stellar and planetary formation. We present statistical results of an infrared, coronagraphic survey of young, nearby stars that includes probable companions to three young G-type stars, Gl 503.2 (G2V), HD 102982 (G3V), and ...
متن کاملAnnular Groove Phase Mask Coronagraph
We present a new phase mask coronagraph consisting in an optical vortex induced by a space-variant surface relief subwavelength grating. Phase mask coronagraphy is a recent technique aiming at accommodating both high dynamic and high angular resolution imaging of faint sources around bright objects such as exoplanets orbiting their parent stars or host galaxies of active galactic nuclei. Subwav...
