More than half of all main sequence stars, and an even larger fraction of pre-main sequence stars, reside in binary/multiple star systems [1, 2]. Numerical simulations of the collapse of molecular cloud cores to form binary stars suggest that disks form within binary star systems [3]. The presence of disk material has been indirectly observed around one or both components of some young binary s...

Four binaries, 10 UMa, UMa, 81 Cnc, and UMa, were observed with adaptive optics on the 3.5m telescope at the Starrre Optical Range on March 24, 1998, in order to investigate the relative photometry produced by adaptive optics within the isoplanatic patch. Iterative Blind Deconvolution (IBD) and Parametric Blind Deconvolution (PBD) techniques were used to post-process the data, and produced cons...

We report here the non-detection of gravitational waves from the merger of binary–neutron star systems and neutron star–black hole systems during the first observing run of the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitationalwave Observatory (LIGO). In particular, we searched for gravitational-wave signals from binary–neutron star systems with component masses Î  M 1, 3 [ ] and component dimensionl...
