Binarity and Cluster Membership of Classical Cepheids
Companions exert adverse effects on the relationships valid for Cepheids. Physical companions may also cause observable effects (e.g., phase jump in the...
Binarity and multiperiodicity in high-amplitude delta Scuti stars .
We present our first results for a sample of southern high-amplitude delta Scuti stars (HADS), based on a spectrophotometric survey started in 2003. For CY Aqr...
Binarity in the Central Stars of Planetary Nebulae and its Relationship to Stellar Evolution: An Observational Perspective
The existing status of our knowledge of binary central stars of planetary nebulae will be explored. Binary modeling of known systems is providing physical...
Binary Planetary Nebula Central Stars: Validating Kepler/K2 Variability and Amplitudes
We analyzed the Kepler/K2 Campaign 11 data to validate the periods and amplitudes for the 32 apparently variable central stars of planetary nebulae (PNe) in the...
Binary stars : selected topics on observations and physical processes : lectures held at the Astrophysics School XII, organized by the European Astrophysics Doctoral Network (EADN) in La Laguna, Tenerife, Spain, 6-17 September 1999
Binary stars: selected topics on observations and physical processes
More than half of all stars in the Galaxy formed and evolved as binary systems and their study is essential for understanding stellar and galactic evolution...
Binary White Dwarf Mergers and Underluminous Supernovae
Short period binary white dwarfs may merge within a Hubble time due to gravitational wave radiation. We have begun a targeted survey to find merging white...
Biogas at 4000 m above Sea Level: The pioneering work of Tecnologías en Desarrollo
In this article we describe a series of projects designed to supply families in rural Bolivia with heat for their cooking needs using simple technology to...
