A targeted search for binary white dwarf pulsars using Gaia and WISE

Ingrid Pelisoli, T. R. Marsh, G. Tovmassian +24

After its discovery in 2016, the white dwarf binary AR Scorpii (AR Sco) remained for several years the only white dwarf system to show pulsed radio emission associated with a fast-…

1000 cataclysmic variables identified from DESI spectroscopy

K. Inight, B. T. Gänsicke, A. Aungwerojwit +41

Most cataclysmic variables (CVs) are discovered when they have an outburst generating an inherent selection bias against CVs that rarely, or never, outburst. CVs discovered by virt…

Cataclysmic Variables from Sloan Digital Sky Survey V -- the search for period bouncers continues

K. Inight, Boris T. Gänsicke, A. Schwope +25

SDSS-V is carrying out a dedicated survey for white dwarfs, single and in binaries, and we report the analysis of the spectroscopy of cataclysmic variables (CVs) and CV candidates…

A Sibling of AR Scorpii: SDSS J230641.47244055.8 and the Observational Blueprint of White Dwarf Pulsars

N. Castro Segura, I. Pelisoli, B. T. Gänsicke +21

Radio pulsating white dwarf (WD) systems, known as WD pulsars, are non-accreting binary systems where the rapidly spinning WD interacts with a low-mass companion producing pulsed n…

Towards a volumetric census of close white dwarf binaries I.Reference samples

K. Inight, B. T. Gaensicke, E. Breedt +3

Close white dwarf binaries play an important role across a range of astrophysics, including thermonuclear supernovae, the Galactic low-frequency gravitational wave signal, and the…

SRG/eROSITA X-ray selected cataclysmic variable candidates observed in SDSS-V DR20

J. Brink, A. D. Schwope, K. G. Pradeep +35

The paper presents spectroscopic observations from SDSS‑V of cataclysmic variable candidates identified via X‑ray detections in the SRG/eROSITA eRASS1 and eRASS3 surveys, assemblin…

Evolution of a long-period Cataclysmic Variable from the viewpoint of the donor star: the case of SDSS J085210.48+783246.6

G. Tovmassian, D. Belloni, I. Mora Zamora +8

Cataclysmic variables were long considered to be close binaries consisting of a white dwarf and a Roche-lobe-filling, near-zero-age main-sequence (ZAMS) red or brown dwarf. Recent…
