Pulsating stars in binary systems are ideal laboratories to test stellar evolution and pulsation theory, since a direct, model-independent determination of component masses is possible. The high-precision CoRoT photometry allows a detailed…
We report about an ongoing photometric and spectroscopic monitoring survey of about 250 O- and 540 B-type stars in the southern Milky Way with the aim to determine the fraction of close binary systems as a function of mass and to determine…
Stellar theory enables us to understand the properties of stars at different stages of their evolution, and contributes to other fields of astrophysics such as galactic and exoplanet studies. Assessing the accuracy of stellar theories…
Close binary interactions perform a key role in the formation and shaping of planetary nebulae. However only a small fraction of Galactic planetary nebulae are known to host close binary systems. Many such systems are detectable through…
The majority of star formation results in binaries or higher multiple systems, and planets in such systems are constrained to a limited range of orbital parameters in order to remain stable against perturbations from stellar companions.…
The very wide double star CCDM 23239-5349 is an interesting study case of a pulsating star within a common origin pair or wide binary. Both stars are located in the Delta Scuti instability strip. Based on data obtained at La Silla (Chile),…
Space missions have produced an incredibly large database on pulsating stars. The light curves via the frequency content contain a detailed description of each star. The critical point is the identification of modes, especially in the…
We present an analysis of observations of the bright star Altair (alpha Aql) obtained using the star camera on the Wide-Field Infrared Explorer (WIRE) satellite. Although Altair lies within the delta Scuti instability strip, previous…
The long-time photometric surveys in a few young open clusters allowed to identify the light variability in stars located on the HR diagram between the well defined $\delta$ Scuti variables and Slowly Pulsating B-type stars. Several objects…
CONTEXT. Many O-type stars have nearby companions whose presence hamper their characterization through spectroscopy. AIMS. We want to obtain spatially resolved spectroscopy of close O-type visual binaries to derive their spectral types.…
A photometric variability study of a sample of northern field stars, which previously classified as either PMS or Herbig Ae/Be objects, has been undertaken with the purpose of detecting {\delta} Scuti-type pulsations. Determination of…
We present a catalog (status July 1, 2022) of triple and higher order systems identified containing exoplanets based on data from the literature, including various analyses. We explore statistical properties of the systems with focus on…
Observations of the pulsations of stars can be used to infer their interior structure and test theoretical models. The main sequence $\gamma$ Doradus (Dor) and $\delta$ Scuti (Sct) stars with masses 1.2-2.5 $M_{\sun}$ are particularly…
The large separation in the low radial order regime is considered as a highly valuable observable to derive mean densities of $\delta$ Scuti stars, due to its independence with rotation. Up to now, theoretical studies of this…
After a brief introduction into the asteroseismic modelling of stars, we provide a compilation of the current seismic estimates of the core overshooting parameter and of the rotational frequency of single and binary massive stars. These…
Roughly half of Solar-type planet hosts have stellar companions, so understanding how these binary companions affect the formation and evolution of planets is an important component to understanding planetary systems overall. Measuring the…
A combination of high-resolution and wide-field imaging reveals two binary stars and one triple star system among the sample of the first 11 stars with planets detected by radial velocity variations. High resolution speckle or adaptive…
Aims. We look for common proper motion companions to stars of the nearby young beta Pictoris moving group. Methods. First, we compiled a list of 185 beta Pictoris members and candidate members from 35 representative works. Next, we used the…
The main obstacle in exploiting the frequency data of $\delta$ Sct stars is difficulty in mode identification. The $\delta$ Sct oscillation spectra, unlike those of the Sun or white dwarfs, do not exhibit very regular patterns. Thus, the…
Pulsating stars in eclipsing binary systems play an important role in asteroseismology. The combination of their spectroscopic and photometric orbital solutions can be used to determine, or at least to constrain, the masses and radii of…
