Scattered light images of the optically thin dust disk around the 5 Myr old star HD141569 have revealed its complex asymmetric structure. We show in this paper that the surface density inferred from the observations presents similarities with that expected from a circumprimary disk within a highly eccentric binary system. We assume that either the two M stars in the close vicinity of HD141569 are bound companions or at least one of them is an isolated binary companion. We discuss the resulting interaction with an initially axisymmetric disk. This scenario accounts for the formation of a spiral structure, a wide gap in the disk and a broad faint extension outside the truncation radius of the disk after 10-15 orbital periods with no need for massive companion(s) in the midst of the disk resolved in scattered light. The simulations match the observations and the star age if the perturber is on an elliptic orbit with a periastron distance of 930 AU and an eccentricity from 0.7 to 0.9. We find that the numerical results can be reasonably well reproduced using an analytical approach proposed to explain the formation of a spiral structure by secular perturbation of a circumprimary disk by an external bound companion. We also interpret the redness of the disk in the visible reported by Clampin et al.(2003) and show that short-lived grains one order of magnitude smaller than the blow-out size limit are abundant in the disk. The most probable reason for this is that the disk sustains high collisional activity. Finally we conclude that additional processes are required to clear out the disk inside 150 AU and that interactions with planetary companions possibly coupled with the remnant gas disk are likely candidates.

We present archival ALMA observations of the HD 141569 circumstellar disk at 345, 230, and 100 GHz. These data detect extended millimeter emission that is exterior to the inner disk. We find through simultaneous visibility modeling of all three data
sets that the systems morphology is described well by a two-component disk model. The inner disk ranges from approximately 16 to 45 au with a spectral index of 1.81 (q = 2.95) and the outer disk ranges from 95 to 300 au with a spectral index of 2.28 (q = 3.21). Azimuthally averaged radial emission profiles derived from the continuum images at each frequency show potential emission that is consistent with the visibility modeling. The analysis presented here shows that at ~5 Myr HD 141569s grain size distribution is steeper, and therefore more evolved, in the outer disk than in the inner disk.
We report the discovery of a scattering component around the HD 141569 A circumstellar debris system, interior to the previously known inner ring. The discovered inner disk component, obtained in broadband optical light with HST/STIS coronagraphy, wa
s imaged with an inner working angle of 0.25, and can be traced from 0.4 (~46 AU) to 1.0 (~116 AU) after deprojection using i=55deg. The inner disk component is seen to forward scatter in a manner similar to the previously known rings, has a pericenter offset of ~6 AU, and break points where the slope of the surface brightness changes. It also has a spiral arm trailing in the same sense as other spiral arms and arcs seen at larger stellocentric distances. The inner disk spatially overlaps with the previously reported warm gas disk seen in thermal emission. We detect no point sources within 2 (~232 AU), in particular in the gap between the inner disk component and the inner ring. Our upper limit of 9+/-3 M_J is augmented by a new dynamical limit on single planetary mass bodies in the gap between the inner disk component and the inner ring of 1 M_J, which is broadly consistent with previous estimates.
We obtained polarimetric differential imaging of a gas-rich debris disk around HD 141569A with SPHERE in the H-band to compare the scattering properties of the innermost ring at 44 au with former observations in total intensity with the same instrume
nt. In polarimetric imaging, we observed that the intensity of the ring peaks in the south-east, mostly in the forward direction, whereas in total intensity imaging, the ring is detected only at the south. This noticeable characteristic suggests a non-uniform dust density in the ring. We implemented a density function varying azimuthally along the ring and generated synthetic images both in polarimetry and in total intensity, which are then compared to the actual data. We find that the dust density peaks in the south-west at an azimuthal angle of $220^{circ} sim 238^{circ}$ with a rather broad width of $61^{circ} sim 127^{circ}$. Although there are still uncertainties that remain in the determination of the anisotropic scattering factor, the implementation of an azimuthal density variation to fit the data proved to be robust. Upon elaborating on the origin of this dust density distribution, we conclude that it could be the result of a massive collision when we account for the effect of the high gas mass that is present in the system on the dynamics of grains. Using the outcome of this modelization, we further measured the polarized scattering phase function for the observed scattering angle between 33$^{circ}$ and 147$^{circ}$ as well as the spectral reflectance of the southern part of the ring between 0.98 $mu$m and 2.1 $mu$m. We tentatively derived the grain properties by comparing these quantities with MCFOST models and assuming Mie scattering. Our preliminary interpretation indicates a mixture of porous sub-micron sized astro-silicate and carbonaceous grains.
HD$,$169142 is an excellent target to investigate signs of planet-disk interaction due to the previous evidence of gap structures. We performed J-band (~1.2{mu}m) polarized intensity imaging of HD169142 with VLT/SPHERE. We observe polarized scattered
light down to 0.16 (~19 au) and find an inner gap with a significantly reduced scattered light flux. We confirm the previously detected double ring structure peaking at 0.18 (~21 au) and 0.56 (~66 au), and marginally detect a faint third gap at 0.70-0.73 (~82-85 au). We explore dust evolution models in a disk perturbed by two giant planets, as well as models with a parameterized dust size distribution. The dust evolution model is able to reproduce the ring locations and gap widths in polarized intensity, but fails to reproduce their depths. It, however, gives a good match with the ALMA dust continuum image at 1.3 mm. Models with a parameterized dust size distribution better reproduce the gap depth in scattered light, suggesting that dust filtration at the outer edges of the gaps is less effective. The pile-up of millimeter grains in a dust trap and the continuous distribution of small grains throughout the gap likely require a more efficient dust fragmentation and dust diffusion in the dust trap. Alternatively, turbulence or charging effects might lead to a reservoir of small grains at the surface layer that is not affected by the dust growth and fragmentation cycle dominating the dense disk midplane. The exploration of models shows that extracting planet properties such as mass from observed gap profiles is highly degenerate.
Stellar astrophysicists are increasingly taking into account the effects of orbiting companions on stellar evolution. New discoveries, many thanks to systematic time-domain surveys, have underlined the role of binary star interactions in a range of a
strophysical events, including some that were previously interpreted as due uniquely to single stellar evolution. Here, we review classical binary phenomena such as type Ia supernovae, and discuss new phenomena such as intermediate luminosity transients, gravitational wave-producing double black holes, or the interaction between stars and their planets. Finally, we examine the reassessment of well-known phenomena in light of interpretations that include both single and binary stars, for example supernovae of type Ib and Ic or luminous blue variables. At the same time we contextualise the new discoveries within the framework and nomenclature of the corpus of knowledge on binary stellar evolution. The last decade has heralded an era of revival in stellar astrophysics as the complexity of stellar observations is increasingly interpreted with an interplay of single and binary scenarios. The next decade, with the advent of massive projects such as the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope, the Square Kilometre Array, the James Webb Space Telescope and increasingly sophisticated computational methods, will see the birth of an expanded framework of stellar evolution that will have repercussions in many other areas of astrophysics such as galactic evolution and nucleosynthesis.
