ASTRONOMY AND ASTROPHYSICS Accurate masses of very low mass stars: II The very low mass triple system Gl 866 Abstract. We present very accurate orbital parameters and mass measurements (2.4% accuracy) for the well known very low mass triple system Gl 866. We obtain first orbital elements for the short-period orbit and greatly improve the long period orbit. All three stars have masses close to 0.1 M ⊙ , and the system thus provides the strongest constraints to date on the mass-luminosity relation close to the brown dwarf limit.

Accurate masses of very low mass stars

We present very accurate individual masses (1.2% relative accuracy) for the two components of Gl 570BC, an interferometric and double-lined spectroscopic binary system. They were obtained from new high accuracy radial velocity and angular separation measurements, analysed together with previously published measurements. From those data we determine a much improved orbit through a simultaneous l...

Accurate masses of very low mass stars III . 16 new or improved masses ? , ? ?

We have obtained adaptive optics images and accurate radial velocities for 7 very low mass objects, In the course of a long term effort to determine accurate masses for very low mass stars (M<0.6 M). We use the new data, together with measurements from the litterature for some stars, to determine new or improved orbits for these 7 systems. They provide masses for 16 very low mass stars with acc...

Forty Years of X-Ray Binaries

In 2012 it was forty years ago that the discovery of the first X-ray binary Centaurus X-3 became known. That same year it was discovered that apart from the High-Mass X-ray Binaries (HMXBs) there are also Low-Mass X-ray Binaries (LMXBs), and that Cygnus X-1 is most probably a black hole. By 1975 also the new class of Be/X-ray binaries was discovered. After this it took 28 years before ESAs INTE...

Accurate masses of very low mass stars IV . Improved mass - luminosity relations ?

We present improved visual and near-infrared empirical mass-luminosity relations for very low mass stars (M<0.6 M). These relations make use of all stellar masses in this range known with better than 10% accuracy, most of which are new determinations with 0.2 to 5% accuracy from our own programme, presented in a companion paper. As predicted by stellar structure models, the metallicity dispersi...
