Speckle interferometric observations of close binary stars
نویسندگان
چکیده
Speckle interferometric technique is employed to record a series of hundreds of short-exposure images of several close binary stars with subarcsecond separation through a narrow band filter at the Cassegrain focus of the 2.34 meter (m) Vainu Bappu telescope (VBT), situated at Vainu Bappu Observatory (VBO), Kavalur, India. The data are recorded sequentially by a Peltier-cooled intensified CCD camera with 10 ms exposure. The autocorrelation method is applied to determine the angular separations and position angles of these binary systems.

Speckle Observations of Composite Spectrum Stars with Pisco
We present speckle interferometry observations of 47 composite spectrum stars obtained between 1993 and 1998 at the Pic du Midi Observatory with the PISCO speckle camera. 76% of over 150 independent 10 minute sequences of observations led to a companion detection. Binary component angular separations ranged from 0>05 to 1>2. We also obtained a series of 23 measurements of an additional nine clo...

The results of speckle interferometric measurements of binary and multiple stars conducted in 2008 and 2009 at the Blanco and SOAR 4-m telescopes in Chile are presented. A total of 1898 measurements of 1189 resolved pairs or sub-systems and 394 observations of 285 unresolved targets are listed. We resolved for the first time 48 new pairs, 21 of which are new sub-systems in close visual multiple...

Speckle interferometric technique is used to record a series of short exposure images of several close binary stars with sub-arcsecond separation through a narrow band filter centred at Hα at the Cassegrain focus of the 2.34 meter (m) Vainu Bappu telescope (VBT), situated at Vainu Bappu Observatory (VBO), Kavalur. The auto-correlation method is developed under Image Reduction Analysis Facility ...

The results of speckle interferometric observations at the Southern Astrophysical Research Telescope (SOAR) telescope in 2014 are given. A total of 1641 observations were taken, yielding 1636 measurements of 1218 resolved binary and multiple stars and 577 non-resolutions of 441 targets. We resolved for the first time 56 pairs, including some nearby astrometric or spectroscopic binaries and ten ...
متن کاملDoes Iras 16293–2422 Contain a Hot Core? New Interferometric Results
High angular resolution H2CO line observations have been carried out for the low mass proto-binary star IRAS 16293–2422 using the OVROmillimeter array. Simultaneous continuum observations reveal that the source most probably contains two accretion disks, less than ∼ 250AU in size, through which matter is fed onto the stars. The observations suggest that the binary has cleared most of the materi...
