Expanding the ultracompacts: gravitational wave-driven mass transfer in the shortest-period binaries with accretion disks
Joheen Chakraborty, Kevin B. Burdge, Saul A. Rappaport +35
We report the discovery of three ultracompact binary white dwarf systems hosting accretion disks, with orbital periods of 7.95, 8.68, and 13.15 minutes. This significantly augments…
JWST detection of heavy neutron capture elements in a compact object merger
A. Levan, B. P. Gompertz, O. S. Salafia +80
The mergers of binary compact objects such as neutron stars and black holes are of central interest to several areas of astrophysics, including as the progenitors of gamma-ray burs…
X-ray properties of the white dwarf pulsar eRASSU J191213.9-441044
Axel Schwope, T. R. Marsh, Annie Standke +5
We report X-ray observations of the newly discovered pulsating white dwarf eRASSU J191213.9-441044 with Spectrum Roentgen Gamma and eROSITA (SRG/eROSITA) and XMM-Newton. The new so…
Early Spectroscopy and Dense Circumstellar Medium Interaction in SN 2023ixf
K. Azalee Bostroem, Jeniveve Pearson, Manisha Shrestha +53
We present the optical spectroscopic evolution of SN~2023ixf seen in sub-night cadence spectra from 1.18 to 14 days after explosion. We identify high-ionization emission features,…
