A rotating white dwarf shows different compositions on its opposite faces
Ilaria Caiazzo, Kevin B. Burdge, Pier-Emmanuel Tremblay +35
White dwarfs, the extremely dense remnants left behind by most stars after their death, are characterised by a mass comparable to that of the Sun compressed into the size of an Ear…
Multiwavelength Constraints on the Origin of a Nearby Repeating Fast Radio Burst Source in a Globular Cluster
Aaron B. Pearlman, Paul Scholz, Suryarao Bethapudi +26
The precise origins of fast radio bursts (FRBs) remain unknown. Multiwavelength observations of nearby FRB sources can provide important insights into the enigmatic FRB phenomenon.…
SRGeJ045359.9+622444: A 55-min Period Eclipsing AM CVn Discovered from a Joint SRG/eROSITA + ZTF Search
Antonio C. Rodriguez, Ilkham Galiullin, Marat Gilfanov +24
AM CVn systems are ultra-compact binaries where a white dwarf accretes from a helium-rich degenerate or semi-degenerate donor. Some AM CVn systems will be among the loudest sources…
Orbital decay in an accreting and eclipsing 13.7 minute orbital period binary with a luminous donor
Kevin B. Burdge, Kareem El-Badry, Saul Rappaport +24
We report the discovery of ZTF J0127+5258, a compact mass-transferring binary with an orbital period of 13.7 minutes. The system contains a white dwarf accretor, which likely origi…
Tidal Disruption Event Demographics with the Zwicky Transient Facility: Volumetric Rates, Luminosity Function, and Implications for the Local Black Hole Mass Function
Yuhan Yao, Vikram Ravi, Suvi Gezari +26
We conduct a systematic tidal disruption event (TDE) demographics analysis using the largest sample of optically selected TDEs. A flux-limited, spectroscopically complete sample of…
The prevalence and influence of circumstellar material around hydrogen-rich supernova progenitors
Rachel J. Bruch, Avishay Gal-Yam, Ofer Yaron +44
Narrow transient emission lines (flash-ionization features) in early supernova (SN) spectra trace the presence of circumstellar material (CSM) around the massive progenitor stars o…
