TIC 378898110: A Bright, Short-Period AM CVn Binary in TESS
Matthew J. Green, J. J. Hermes, Brad N. Barlow +22
AM CVn-type systems are ultracompact, helium-accreting binary systems which are evolutionarily linked to the progenitors of thermonuclear supernovae and are expected to be strong G…
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…
An Eclipsing 47 minute Double White Dwarf Binary at 400 pc
James Munday, P. -E. Tremblay, J. J. Hermes +20
We present the discovery of the eclipsing double white dwarf (WD) binary WDJ 022558.21-692025.38 that has an orbital period of 47.19 min. Following identification with the Transiti…
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…
A 5.3-minute-period pulsing white dwarf in a binary detected from radio to X-rays
Ingrid Pelisoli, T. R. Marsh, David A. H. Buckley +19
White dwarf stars are the most common stellar fossils. When in binaries, they make up the dominant form of compact object binary within the Galaxy and can offer insight into differ…
GRB 201015A and the nature of low-luminosity soft gamma-ray bursts
M. Patel, B. P. Gompertz, P. T. O'Brien +20
GRB 201015A is a peculiarly low luminosity, spectrally soft gamma-ray burst (GRB), with s (time interval of detection of 90\% of photons from the GRB), a…
