The origin of binary stars

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that although we have a general understanding of the manner in which individual stars form, our understanding of how binary stars form is far from complete, in large part due to the f...

Eclipsing binaries in open clusters – I. V615 Per and V618 Per in h Persei

TL;DR: In this article, the absolute dimensions for two early-type main-sequence detached eclipsing binaries in the young open cluster h Persei (NGC 869) were derived using high-resolution spectroscopy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stellar rotation and magnetic stars

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider how rotation and magnetism affect the life history of a star from its formation through the main-sequence phases to its post-main-sequence evolution.

Detection of Low-Mass-ratio Stellar Binary Systems

TL;DR: In this paper, a new technique sensitive to G and K-type companions to early B stars, a mass ratio of roughly 0.1, using high-resolution, high signal-to-noise spectra was described.

Binary fission via lnviscid Trajectories

TL;DR: In this article, the authors sketch an evolutionary picture which, unlike the classical picture, appears favorable to the hypothesis that close binary stars originate in the fission of a single slowly contracting protostar.
