Observations of binaries (with focus on PNe and PPNe) Eric Lagadec for Olivier Chesneau (Observatoire de la Cote d Azur) Why galaxies care about AGB stars III
Morphologies of AGB and post-agb envelopes 80 % of PNe are non-spherical! (Balick 2002) Almost no PPNe are spherical! (Sahai 1998, Lagadec 2011) 20 AGB star Different PNe

Direct detection of binaries High angular resolution techniques (AO, interferometry, lucky imaging ) Olivier was hoping to directly image binaries with AO or interferometry Problems: AO: limited angular resolution Interferometry: limited sensitivity and baselines
Interferometry with the VLTI Van-Cittert-Zernicke theorem: «The complex visibility is the Fourier transform of the source intensity distribution on the sky at the spatial frequencies corresponding to the projected baseline on the sky per observing wavelength.»

Formation of a bipolar/multipolar PN Long debate binary vs magnetic field Binaries Binaries Debate settled during a football game in La Palma (APN4, 2007)
Formation of a bipolar/multipolar PN Long debate binary vs magnetic field Soker (2005): a single star can not supply enough energy and angular momentum to shape those nebulae Nordhaus et al. (2006): magnetic fields can play an important role but isolated stars can not sustain a magnetic field for long enough See talk by W. Vlemmings for magnetic field and poster by L. Sabin

Direct detection of binaries in PNe APN4, La Palma (2007): PlanB, community effort to look for binaries in PNe Methods: Flux variability (eclipses, tidal deformations, irradiation effects) Spectral variability (radial velocities) IR excess from a cool companion
Binaries in PNe See poster by A. Jorissen A great community effort (B Miszalski, D. Jones, H. Bond, D. Frew, O. de Marco, D. Douchin, S. van Eck, H. van Winckel, A. Jorissen etc..) demonstrates that binaries are common in PNe!
Fleming 1 Prototype point-symmetric: closing the case Boffin et al. 2012, Science
A close binary Fleming 1 Boffin, Miszalski et al. 2012, Science 15-20% of CSPNe are close binaries (P< 3 days): common envelope? (Miszalski et al., 2009)
Jets/common envelope Fleming 1 See Poster by B.M. Lewis Precessing jets, timescale~10 4 yrs Would expect P orb 10 2-10 3 yrs! But close binary! CE after the jets formed. Wind mass transfer before!
Binaries in post-agb Problem: stars are pulsating and embedded in dust O H 2 3 1. 8 Red Rectangle Masers position: 2 stars Gomez et al., 2001 Waelkens et al., 1996 Radial velocities: binary, p=318 days But the main star is an AGB star
Long term monitoring in PPNe B. Hrivnak and undergrads: observations since 1994!!! Hrivnak et al., 2011 Wide binaries hard to detect: we would not know if most PPNe are wide binaries Possibly one binary detected: P>22 years Next: edge-on disks (inclination known) Problem: dust ; solution: IR studies
RV Tau stars, a.k.a van Winckel s stars Binary separation 0.5-3 AU: close binaries Dusty keplerian disks r 10 au Near infrared excess No visible nebulae Talk by M. Hillen Poster by I. Gezer Radial velocities: 6/6 are binaries (van Winckel et al. 2009)
My personal opinion is that the discovery of a stratified disk with proved Keplerian kinematics is directly connected to the influence of a companion, albeit the few exceptions presented above, namely the Young Stellar Objects or the critical velocity rotating massive sources such as Be stars. This hypothesis must be confirmed by further observations. Olivier Chesneau

Binaries with interferometry? SV Psc HD 352 Mysterious star Boffin et al., 2014 Optical/IR interferometry with 4 telescope ALMA with 66 antennae Olivier s dream soon to be fulfilled?
Effects of binarity on evolution Creation of a disk (dust processing, dual dust chemistry) Quick envelope ejection (less dredge-up, most O-rich PNe are aspherical, no AGB phase?) Enrichment of secondary in s-elements (peculiar stars like Barium stars, CEMP, CH stars..) No PNe without binaries? (De Marco, but not what is observed in the LMC/SMC) In the case of RV Tau stars, no PNe
Conclusions and perspectives Binaries are common in PNe Should also be in AGBs! (or in RGBs?) Would impact morphologies but also dust/chemical composition (e.g. envelope ejected before dredgeup, peculiar chemical composition) Need to study disks formation and evolution and impact on the star (depletion on dust, mass-loss history ) Shall we hunt for binaries like the PN community did? (and compare RGB/AGB/PPNe/PNe binary fractions)
