Ferreira Lopes, and Márcio Catelan https://doi.org/10.3847/1538-3881/ad4882 August 2024 Abstract Low-mass ratio systems (LMR) are a very interesting class of contact eclipsing binaries challenging the theoretical models of stability. These systems are also considered possible progenitors of

Discovery of an optical cocoon tail behind the runaway HD 185806

Studies on the circumstellar structures around evolved stars provide vital information on the evolution of the parent star and the properties of the local interstellar medium. In this work, we present the discovery and characterization of an optical cocoon tail behind the star HD 185806. The cocoon apex emission is puzzling, as it is detected in the infrared but shows no signal in the optical wavelength.
