First Results from the CHARA Array. VII. Long-Baseline Interferometric Measurements of Vega Consistent with a Pole-On, Rapidly Rotating Star
- J. Aufdenberg, A. Mérand, N. Turner
- Physics
- 13 March 2006
We have obtained high-precision interferometric measurements of Vega with the CHARA Array and FLUOR beam combiner in the K′ band at projected baselines between 103 and 273 m. The measured visibility…
COLDER AND HOTTER: INTERFEROMETRIC IMAGING OF β CASSIOPEIAE AND α LEONIS
- X. Che, J. Monnier, L. Sturmann
- Physics
- 4 May 2011
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 present new…
Circumstellar material in the Vega inner system revealed by CHARA/FLUOR

Context. Only a handful of debris disks have been imaged up to now. Due to the need for high dynamic range and high angular resolution, very little is known about the inner planetary region, where…
Adaptive Optics Photometry and Astrometry of Binary Stars. II. A Multiplicity Survey of B Stars
- Lewis C. Roberts Jr., N. Turner, T. Brummelaar
- Physics
- 1 November 2005
We carried out a search for companions to B stars using the adaptive optics system of the Advanced Electro-Optical System 3.6 m telescope. We observed 70 B stars in the I band, finding 16 companions,…
Extended envelopes around Galactic Cepheids. II. Polaris and delta Cephei from near-infrared interfe
- A. Mérand, P. Kervella, D. Berger
- Physics
- 1 July 2006
We present the results of long-baseline interferometric observations of the classical Cepheids Polaris and δ Cep in the near infrared K' band (1.9-2.3 μ m), using the FLUOR instrument of the CHARA…
The radii of the nearby K5V and K7V stars 61 Cygni A & B. CHARA/FLUOR interferometry and CESAM2k modeling

- Physics, Geology
- 25 June 2008
Context: The main sequence binary star 61 Cyg (K5V+K7V) is our nearest stellar neighbour in the northern hemisphere. This proximity makes it a particularly well suited system for very high accuracy…
Stellar diameters and temperatures - VI. High angular resolution measurements of the transiting exoplanet host stars HD 189733 and HD 209458 and implications for models of cool dwarfs
- T. Boyajian, K. Braun, L. Sturmann
- Physics, Geology
- 20 November 2014
We present direct radii measurements of the well-known transiting exoplanet host stars HD 189733 and HD 209458 using the CHARA Array interferometer. We find the limbdarkened angular diameters to be…
Long-baseline interferometric multiplicity survey of the Sco-Cen OB association
- A. Rizzuto, M. Ireland, C. Laliberte-Houdeville
- Physics
- 16 September 2013
We present the rst multiplicity-dedicated long baseline optical interferometric survey of the Scorpius-Centaurus-Lupus-Crux association. We used the Sydney University Stellar Interferometer to…
Stellar diameters and temperatures - V. 11 newly characterized exoplanet host stars
- K. Braun, T. Boyajian, Noao
- Physics, Geology
- 6 December 2013
We use near-infrared interferometric data coupled with trigonometric parallax values and spectral energy distribution fitting to directly determine stellar radii, effective temperatures and…
IMAGING AND MODELING RAPIDLY ROTATING STARS: α CEPHEI AND α OPHIUCHI
- Ming Zhao, J. Monnier, Noao
- Physics, Geology
- 12 June 2009
We present submilliarcsecond resolution imaging and modeling of two nearby rapid rotators α Cephei and α Ophiuchi, obtained with the CHARA array—the largest optical/IR interferometer in the world.…
