Seven spectroscopic orbits in nearby solar-type multiple stars are presented. The primary of the chromospherically active star HIP 9642 is a 4.8-day double-lined pair; the outer 420-yr visual orbit is updated, but remains poorly…
The A-type star HR 6412 = V2368 Oph was used by several investigators as a photometric comparison star for the known eclipsing binary U Oph but was found to be variable by three independent groups, including us. By analysing series of new…
Spectroscopic orbits are computed for inner pairs in 9 hierarchical multiple systems (HIP 19639, 60845, 75663, 76816, 78163, 78416, 80448, 84789, and HD 105080) and for one simple binary HIP 61840. All subsystems are double-lined, and their…
A large number of candidate binary stars with apparent acceleration on the sky has emerged from analysis of astrometric data collected by the Hipparcos, Tycho-2, and Gaia space missions. Although the apparent acceleration can serve as a…
The spectroscopic orbit of a high proper motion visual binary system BD +30 2129 component A is determined from 22 CORAVEL-type radial velocity measurements. A period of P = 32.79 days and a moderate eccentricity e = 0.29 are obtained. The…
A-stars are the progenitors of about half of the white dwarfs (WDs) that currently exist. The connection between the multiplicity of A-stars and that of WDs is not known and both multiplicities are still poorly explored. We are in the…
Even though it was discovered more than a decade ago, LSR1610-0040 remains an enigma. This object has a peculiar spectrum that exhibits some features typically found in L subdwarfs, and others common in the spectra of more massive M dwarf…
We perform a search for faint, common proper motion companions of Hipparcos stars using the recently published LSPM-north catalog of stars with proper motion mu>0.15 arcsec/yr. Our survey uncovers a total of 521 systems with angular…
A considerable number of astrometric binaries whose positions on the sky do not obey the standard model of mean position, parallax and linear proper motion, were observed by the Hipparcos satellite. Some of them remain non-discovered, and…
Among the 120 000 objects in the Hipparcos catalogue, only 235 were fitted with an orbital model. Besides these 235 original astrometric binaries, most Hipparcos entries with a known spectroscopic orbit (extrasolar planet or stellar…
The young system RX J0529.3+1210 was initially identified as a single-lined spectroscopic binary. Using high-resolution infrared spectra, acquired with NIRSPEC on Keck II, we measured radial velocities for the secondary. The method of using…
In this Letter, we shed light on the evolutionary phase of HD 144812, a Galactic yellow supergiant showing infrared excess that is typically expected for evolved stars undergoing enhanced mass-loss activity. We present high-resolution…
The orbit of the visual-speckle binary A 2801 (HD 26441) was calculated independently of the previously published double-lined spectroscopic solution, obtaining similar values for the common orbital elements. In this way, it has been…
HP Dra is a well-detached eclipsing binary containing two late-F stars on an orbit with a relatively large period of 10.76 d and a small eccentricity of 0.036. It has been observed in 14 sectors using the Transiting Exoplanet Survey…
We confirmed four spectroscopic binary candidates using new observations obtained with SALT. Three SB2 systems (HD 20784, HD 43519A, HD 62153A) exhibit circular orbits with periods shorter than 10 days, whereas one hierarchical triple…
We report the discovery of a bright (V=11.6 mag) eclipsing hot subdwarf binary of spectral type B with a late main sequence companion from the All Sky Automated Survey (ASAS 102322-3737.0). Such systems are called HW Vir stars after the…
Long-period companions are detected and characterized thanks to long-baseline radial velocity surveys. Combining Doppler time-series with astrometry, and in particular with proper motion anomalies technique, it is possible to put strong…
The archival spectrum of SDSS J212531.92-010745.9 shows not only the typical signature of a PG1159 star, but also indicates the presence of a companion. With time-series photometry of SDSS J212531.92-010745.9 during 10 nights, spread over…
The MOST photometric space mission discovered an eclipsing binary among its guide stars in June 2006 which combines a relatively large eccentricity e = 0.20 with an orbital period of only 2.27 days. HD 313926 appears to consist of two…
KIC 1571511 is a 14d eclipsing binary (EB) in the Kepler dataset. The secondary of this EB is a very low mass star with a mass of 0.14136 +/- 0.00036 M_sun and a radius of 0.17831 +0.00051/-0.00062 R_sun (statistical errors only). The…
