| Title | Astronomy at High Angular Resolution : A Compendium of Techniques in the Visible and Near-Infrared |
| Author(s) | Boffin, Henri M. J;Hussain, Gaitee;Berger, Jean-Philippe;Schmidtobreick, Linda |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2016. |
| Description | XVI, 274 p. 120 illus., 88 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book offers an essential compendium of astronomical high-resolution techniques. Recent years have seen considerable developments in such techniques, which are critical to advances in many areas of astronomy. As reflected in the book, these techniques can be divided into direct methods, interferometry, and reconstruction methods, and can be applied to a huge variety of astrophysical systems, ranging from planets, single stars and binaries to active galactic nuclei, providing angular resolution in the micro- to tens of milliarcsecond scales. Written by experts in their fields, the chapters cover adaptive optics, aperture masking imaging, spectra disentangling, interferometry, lucky imaging, Roche tomography, imaging with interferometry, interferometry of AGN, AGN reverberation mapping, Doppler- and magnetic imaging of stellar surfaces, Doppler tomography, eclipse mapping, Stokes imaging, and stellar tomography. This book is intended to enable a next generation of astronomers to apply high-resolution techniques. It informs readers on how to achieve the best angular resolution in the visible and near-infrared regimes from diffraction-limited to micro-arcsecond scales |

| Title | The Importance of Binaries in the Formation and Evolution of Planetary Nebulae |
| Author(s) | Boffin, Henri M. J;Jones, David |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2019. |
| Description | XIV, 113 p. 41 illus., 24 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | It is now clear that a binary evolutionary pathway is responsible for a significant fraction of all planetary nebulae, with some authors even going so far as to claim that binarity may be a near requirement for the formation of an observable nebula. This has led to the requirement that textbooks most likely need to be rewritten. Building upon the review of Jones and Boffin in Nature Astronomy (2017), this Springer Brief takes a first step in this direction. It offers the first expanded presentation of all the theoretical and observational support for the importance of binarity in the formation of planetary nebulae, initially focusing on common envelope evolution but also covering wider binaries. This book emphasises the wider impact of the field, highlighting the critical role binary central stars of planetary nebulae have in understanding a plethora of astrophysical phenomena, including type Ia supernovae, chemically peculiar stars and circumbinary exoplanets |

| Title | Ecology of Blue Straggler Stars |
| Author(s) | Boffin, Henri M. J;Carraro, Giovanni;Beccari, Giacomo |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2015. |
| Description | XIX, 349 p. 144 illus., 53 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The existence of blue straggler stars, which appear younger, hotter, and more massive than their siblings, is at odds with a simple picture of stellar evolution. Such stars should have exhausted their nuclear fuel and evolved long ago to become cooling white dwarfs. They are found to exist in globular clusters, open clusters, dwarf spheroidal galaxies of the Local Group, OB associations and as field stars. This book summarises the many advances in observational and theoretical work dedicated to blue straggler stars. Carefully edited extended contributions by well-known experts in the field cover all the relevant aspects of blue straggler stars research: Observations of blue straggler stars in their various environments; Binary stars and formation channels; Dynamics of globular clusters; Interpretation of observational data and comparison with models. The book also offers an introductory chapter on stellar evolution written by the editors of the book |
