In binary systems with a strongly misaligned disk, the central binary stars can travel a significant vertical distance above and below the disk's orbital plane. This can cause large changes in illumination of the disk over the course of the…
We present the first three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of a circumbinary disk surrounding an equal mass binary. The binary maintains a fixed circular orbit of separation $a$. As in previous hydrodynamical simulations,…
The mass of the gaseous reservoir in young circumstellar disks is a crucial initial condition for the formation of planetary systems, but estimates vary by orders of magnitude. In some disks with resolvable cavities, sharp inner disk warps…
The protoplanetary disk around the GGTau A binary system is so far one of the most studied young circumbinary disk. Observations of the dust continuum emission at sub-mm/mm wavelengths detected a dust ring located between 200AU and 300AU…
We completed a search for circumstellar disks around Herbig Be stars using the NRAO Very Large Array (VLA) and the IRAM Plateau de Bure (PdB) interferometers. We present our new VLA and PdBI data for the three objects MWC 297, Z CMa, and…
We present high resolution (R $\sim$ 44,000) UVES spectra of the eclipsing pre-main sequence star KH 15D covering the wavelength range 4780 to 6810 {\AA} obtained at three phases: out of eclipse, near minimum light and during egress. The…
Young binary stars with discs provide unique laboratories to study the earliest stages of planet formation in star-forming environments. The detection of substructure in discs around Class I protostars challenges current models of disc…
Current models of binary systems often depend on simplified approach of the radiation field, which are unlikely to accurately capture the complexities of asymmetric environments. We investigate the dynamical and chemical implications of a…
We present an H-band image of FS Tauri, a 0.2"-separated classical T Tauri binary system, taken with the Coronagraphic Imager with Adaptive Optics on the Subaru Telescope. This new image, combined with Hubble Space Telescope / Advanced…
Orbital inclination is crucial in determining the mass of the binary. The astrometric excess noise contain the orbital motion information, which can be used to constrain the inclination. We aim to constrain the orbital inclination of a…
Circumstellar disks in binaries are perturbed by the companion gravity causing significant alterations of the disk morphology. Spiral waves due to the companion tidal force also develop in the vertical direction and affect the disk…
The measurement of the apsidal motion in close eccentric massive binary systems provides essential information to probe the internal structure of the stars that compose the system. Following the determination of the fundamental stellar and…
The vertical settling of dust grains in a circumstellar disk, characterized by their scale height, is a pivotal process in the formation of planets. This study offers in-depth analysis and modeling of the radial scale height profile of dust…
Many post-AGB star binaries are observed to have relatively high orbital eccentricities (up to 0.6). Recently, AC Her was observed to have a polar-aligned circumbinary disk. We perform hydrodynamic simulations to explore the impact of a…
Recent SPH simulations by Martin et al. (2014) suggest a circumstellar gaseous disk may exhibit coherent eccentricity-inclination oscillations due to the tidal forcing of an inclined binary companion, in a manner that resembles Lidov-Kozai…

This paper discusses the properties of the inner puffed-up rim which forms in circumstellar disks when dust evaporates. We argue that the rim shape is controlled by a fundamental property of circumstellar disks, namely their very large…
Apsidal motion in massive eccentric binaries offers precious information about the internal structure of the stars. This is especially true for twin binaries consisting of two nearly identical stars. We make use of the tidally induced…
