title = "Analyzing the δ Sco binary in anticipation of a disk-star collision",
abstract = "A current investigation is underway into the possible collision between a circumstellar disk and the secondary star in the δ Scorpii binary system. δ Scorpii is a prime candidate for a disk-star collision since the primary star has a circumstellar disk and the secondary star has a highly elliptical orbit with a period of approximately 10.5 years making the periastron passage very close to the primary star. The Navy Prototype Optical Interferometer (NPOI) was used to spatially resolve the two stars as well as the cirumstellar disk around the primary. A revised orbit with new orbital parameters has been calculated using observations obtained between 2005 and 2010. Our results indicate periastron passage will occur on 2011-07-03.",
