HD 15137 is an intriguing runaway O-type binary system that offers a rare opportunity to explore the mechanism by which it was ejected from the open cluster of its birth. Here we present recent blue optical spectra of HD 15137 and derive a new orbital solution for the spectroscopic binary and physical parameters of the O star primary. We also present the first XMM-Newton observations of the system. Fits of the EPIC spectra indicate soft, thermal X-ray emission consistent with an isolated O star. Upper limits on the undetected hard X-ray emission place limits on the emission from a proposed compact companion in the system, and we rule out a quiescent neutron star in the propellor regime or a weakly accreting neutron star. An unevolved secondary companion is also not detected in our optical spectra of the binary, and it is difficult to conclude that a gravitational interaction could have ejected this runaway binary with a low mass optical star. HD 15137 may contain an elusive neutron star in the ejector regime or a quiescent black hole with conditions unfavorable for accretion at the time of our observations.

Very few examples are known of red supergiant runaways, all of them descending from the more massive O-type precursors, but none from the lower mass B-type precursors, although runaway statistics among B-type stars suggest that K-type runaways must b
e relatively numerous. We study HD 137071, a star that has been considered so far as a normal K-type red giant. Its parallax measured by Gaia and the derived luminosity suggest that it is actually a supergiant, whereas its derived distance to the galactic plane and its spatial velocity of 54.1 km s$^{-1}$ with respect to the local standard of rest suggest that it is also a runaway star. However, intrinsic limitations in determining the trigonometric parallaxes of cool supergiants, even in the Gaia era, require accurate spectral classifications for confirmation. We reliably classify HD 137071 as a K4II star establishing its membership to the extreme Population I, which is in agreement with the luminosity derived using the Gaia DR2 parallax measurement. Kinematical data from the Gaia DR2 catalog confirm its high spatial velocity and its runaway nature. Combining the spectral classification with astrometric information, a state-of-the-art galactic potential model, and evolutionary models for high-mass stars we trace the motion of HD 137071 back to the proximities of the galactic plane and speculate on which of the two proposed mechanisms for the production of runaway stars may be responsible for the high velocity of HD 137071. The available data favor the formation of HD 137071 in a massive binary system where the more massive companion underwent a supernova explosion about 32 Myr ago.
Binary star systems are important for understanding stellar structure and evolution, and are especially useful when oscillations can be detected and analysed with asteroseismology. However, only four systems are known in which solar-like oscillations
are detected in both components. Here, we analyse the fifth such system, HD 176465, which was observed by Kepler. We carefully analysed the systems power spectrum to measure individual mode frequencies, adapting our methods where necessary to accommodate the fact that both stars oscillate in a similar frequency range. We also modelled the two stars independently by fitting stellar models to the frequencies and complementary parameters. We are able to cleanly separate the oscillation modes in both systems. The stellar models produce compatible ages and initial compositions for the stars, as is expected from their common and contemporaneous origin. Combining the individual ages, the system is about 3.0$pm$0.5 Gyr old. The two components of HD 176465 are young physically-similar oscillating solar analogues, the first such system to be found, and provide important constraints for stellar evolution and asteroseismology.
The emission-line Be star HD 215227 lies within the positional error circle of the newly identified gamma-ray source AGL J2241+4454. We present new blue spectra of the star, and we point out the morphological and variability similarities to other Be
binaries. An analysis of the available optical photometry indicates a variation with a period of 60.37 +/- 0.04 d, which may correspond to an orbital modulation of the flux from the disk surrounding the Be star. The distance to the star of 2.6 kpc and its relatively large Galactic latitude suggest that the binary was ejected from the plane by a supernova explosion that created the neutron star or black hole companion. The binary and runaway properties of HD 215227 make it an attractive candidate as the optical counterpart of AGL J2241+4454 and as a new member of the small class of gamma-ray emitting binaries.
This paper reports Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) observations of the binary system HD 41004 that are among the deepest images ever obtained at 150~MHz and 400 MHz in the search for radio emission from exoplanets. The HD 41004 binary system c
onsists of a K1 V primary star and an M2 V secondary; both stars are host to a massive planet or brown dwarf. Analogous to planets in our solar system that emit at radio wavelengths due to their strong magnetic fields, one or both of the planet or brown dwarf in the HD 41004 binary system are also thought to be sources of radio emission. Various models predict HD~41004Bb to have one of the largest expected flux densities at 150 MHz. The observations at 150 MHz cover almost the entire orbital period of HD 41004Bb, and about $20%$ of the orbit is covered at 400 MHz. We do not detect radio emission, setting 3$sigma$ limits of 1.8 mJy at 150 MHz and 0.12 mJy at 400 MHz. We also discuss some of the possible reasons why no radio emission was detected from the HD 41004 binary system.
A rare group of high mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs) are known that also exhibit MeV, GeV, and/or TeV emission (gamma-ray binaries). Expanding the sample of gamma-ray binaries and identifying unknown Fermi sources are currently of great interest to the c
ommunity. Based upon their positional coincidence with the unidentified Fermi sources 1FGL J1127.7-6244c and 1FGL J1808.5-1954c, the Be stars HD 99771 and HD 165783 have been proposed as gamma-ray binary candidates. During Fermi Cycle 4, we have performed multiwavelength observations of these sources using XMM-Newton and the CTIO 1.5m telescope. We do not confirm high energy emission from the Be stars. Here we examine other X-ray sources in the field of view that are potential counterparts to the Fermi sources.
