Orbital properties of binary post-AGB stars

GM Oomen, H Van Winckel, O Pols… - Astronomy & …, 2018 - aanda.org
Binary post-asymptotic giant branch (post-AGB) stars are thought to be the products of a
strong but poorly understood interaction during the AGB phase. The aim of this contribution …

A family portrait of disk inner rims around Herbig Ae/Be stars-Hunting for warps, rings, self shadowing, and misalignments in the inner astronomical units

J Kluska, JP Berger, F Malbet, B Lazareff… - Astronomy & …, 2020 - aanda.org
Context. The innermost astronomical unit (au) in protoplanetary disks is a key region for
stellar and planet formation, as exoplanet searches have shown a large occurrence of close …

The structure of jets launched from post-AGB binary systems

D Bollen, D Kamath, H Van Winckel… - Astronomy & …, 2022 - aanda.org

Electromagnetic signals following stellar-mass black hole mergers

SE De Mink, A King - The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
It is often assumed that gravitational-wave (GW) events resulting from the merger of stellar-
mass black holes are unlikely to produce electromagnetic (EM) counterparts. We point out …

V Bujarrabal, A Castro-Carrizo, H Van Winckel… - Astronomy & …, 2018 - aanda.org
Context. Aims. In order to study the effects of rotating disks in the post-asymptotic giant
branch (post-AGB) evolution, we observe a class of binary post-AGB stars that seem to be …

Modelling depletion by re-accretion of gas from a dusty disc in post-AGB stars

GM Oomen, H Van Winckel, O Pols… - Astronomy & …, 2019 - aanda.org
