Optical interferometry provides us with a unique opportunity to improve our understanding of
stellar structure and evolution. Through direct observation of rotationally distorted …

Context. In previous works of this series, we have shown that late B-and early A-type stars
have genuine bimodal distributions of rotational velocities and that late A-type stars lack …

Wide-field surveys for transiting planets are well suited to searching diverse stellar
populations, enabling a better understanding of the link between the properties of planets …

Context. Interpretation of interferometric observations of rapidly rotating stars requires a
good model of their surface effective temperature. Until now, laws of the form have been …

Based on CHARA Array measurements, we present the angular diameters of 23 nearby,
main-sequence stars, ranging from spectral types A7 to K0, 5 of which are exoplanet host …

Abstract The Hyades, Praesepe, and Pleiades are well-studied stellar clusters that anchor
important secondary stellar age indicators. Recent studies have shown that main sequence …

We have executed a survey of nearby, main-sequence A-, F-, and G-type stars with the
CHARA Array, successfully measuring the angular diameters of forty-four stars with an …

This review has two parts. The first one is devoted to the Barbier–Chalonge–Divan (BCD)
spectrophotometric system, also known as the Paris spectral classification system. Although …

Context. Dust is expected to be ubiquitous in extrasolar planetary systems owing to the
dynamical activity of minor bodies. Inner dust populations are, however, still poorly known …

Near-infrared interferometers have recently imaged a number of rapidly rotating A-type stars,
finding levels of gravity darkening inconsistent with theoretical expectations. Here, we …
