Speckle interferometry of the HAeBe star V 376 Cas ⋆

چکیده
We report Hand K ′-band speckle interferometric observations of the HAeBe star V376 Cas. Our observations show that the object is partially resolved. The visibility curves suggest three separate components: a large scattering envelope visible only in the H band, a component approximately 100 mas in radius, and a component with a Gaussian HWHM of approximately 8±3 mas, corresponding to approximately 5 AU at 600 pc distance, which contributes most of the flux. We compare the smallest structure to the radius of dust sublimation in the radiation field of the star and find that the radius is approximately six times larger than that expected. This may indicate that the inner regions of the system are in fact obscured by a flaring circumstellar disk or torus seen close to edge-on.

HD 16429 A is a triple star system consisting of a single-lined spectroscopic binary and a widely separated third component, previously identified via speckle interferometry. Here I present the first orbital elements for the unblended spec-troscopic binary as well as estimates of the spectral types and relative flux contributions for each visible component based upon a Doppler tomographic recon...
متن کاملMulti-wavelength bispectrum speckle interferometry of R Cas and comparison of the observations with Mira star models
We present diffraction-limited (30 mas) bispectrum speckle interferometry observations of the Mira star R Cas with the Russian 6 m SAO telescope. The speckle interferograms were recorded through narrow-band interference filters with centre wavelength/bandwidth of 671 nm/6 nm and 714 nm/6 nm (strong TiO absorption band), 700 nm/6 nm (moderate TiO absorption), and 1045 nm/9 nm (continuum). The re...
متن کاملPeriod change and δ Scuti pulsations of eclipsing binary star RZ Cassiopiae
RZ Cas is an Algol-type partial eclipsing binary, the secondary component of which has filled its Roche lobe. Its visual magnitude is 6.18 and its period is 1.195 days. The most important characteristics of RZ Cas are period change (due to mass transfer) and anomalies in the primary minimum of its light curve (due to δ Scuti pulsations). In this paper, light curves of RZ Cas are obtained using ...
متن کاملPreliminary results of dark-speckle stellar coronography
The dark-speckle method (Labeyrie 1995) combines features of speckle interferometry and adaptive optics to provide images of faint circumstellar material. We present preliminary results of observations, and simulations concluding to the feasibility of exo-planet imaging from the ground. Laboratory simulations with an avalanche photodiode indicate the detectability of a stellar companion of rela...

We present the first diffraction-limited images of the mass-loss envelope of the red supergiant star VY CMa. The two-dimensional optical and NIR images were reconstructed from 3.6 m telescope speckle data using bispectrum speckle interferometry. At the wavelengths ∼ 0.8 µm (RG 780 filter), 1.28 µm, and 2.17 µm the diffraction-limited resolutions of 46 mas, 73 mas, and 124 mas were achieved. All...
