The white dwarf binary pathways survey -- X. Gaia orbits for known UV excess binaries

J. A. Garbutt, S. G. Parsons, O. Toloza +9

White dwarfs with a F, G or K type companion represent the last common ancestor for a plethora of exotic systems throughout the galaxy, though to this point very few of them have b…

Common envelope evolution and triple dynamics as potential pathways to form the inner white dwarf + brown dwarf binary of the triple star system Gaia 0007-1605

F. Lagos, M. Zorotovic, M. R. Schreiber +1

The recently discovered system Gaia 0007-1605 consisting of a white dwarf with a close brown dwarf companion and a distant white dwarf tertiary very much resembles the triple syste…

The White Dwarf Binary Pathways Survey -- IX. Three long period white dwarf plus subgiant binaries

S. G. Parsons, M. S. Hernandez, O. Toloza +8

Virtually all binaries consisting of a white dwarf with a non-degenerate companion can be classified as either close post-interaction systems (with orbital periods of a few days or…

The C/N ratio from FUV spectroscopy as a constraint upon the past evolution of HS0218+3229

O. Toloza, Boris T. Gaensicke, Laura M. Guzman-Rincon +8

Some white dwarfs accreting from non-degenerate companions show anomalous carbon and nitrogen abundances in the photospheres of their stellar components which have been postulated…

The White Dwarf Binary Pathways Survey VII: Evidence for a bi-modal distribution of post mass transfer systems?

F. Lagos, M. R. Schreiber, S. G. Parsons +5

Binary systems consisting of a white dwarf and a main-sequence companion with orbital periods up to d are often thought to be formed through common envelope evolution…

The White Dwarf Binary Pathways Survey VI: two close post common envelope binaries with TESS light curves

M. S. Hernandez, M. R. Schreiber, S. G. Parsons +9

Establishing a large sample of post common envelope binaries (PCEBs) that consist of a white dwarf plus an intermediate mass companion star of spectral type AFGK, offers the potent…

The White Dwarf Binary Pathways Survey IV: Three close white dwarf binaries with G-type secondary stars

M. S. Hernandez, M. R. Schreiber, S. G. Parsons +12

Constraints from surveys of post common envelope binaries (PCEBs) consisting of a white dwarf plus an M-dwarf companion have led to significant progress in our understanding of the…

WD 1856 b: a close giant planet around a white dwarf that could have survived a common-envelope phase

F. Lagos, M. R. Schreiber, M. Zorotovic +3

The discovery of a giant planet candidate orbiting the white dwarf WD 1856+534 with an orbital period of 1.4 d poses the questions of how the planet reached its current position. W…

Most EL CVn systems are inner binaries of hierarchical triples

F. Lagos, M. R. Schreiber, S. G. Parsons +2

In spite of their importance for modern astronomy, we do not fully understand how close binary stars containing at least one white dwarf form from main sequence binary stars. The d…

The White Dwarf Binary Pathways Survey III: contamination from hierarchical triples containing a white dwarf

F. Lagos, M. R. Schreiber, S. G. Parsons +12

The White Dwarf Binary Pathways Survey aims at increasing the number of known detached A, F, G and K main sequence stars in close orbits with white dwarf companions (WD+AFGK binari…

Cold giant planets evaporated by hot white dwarfs

Matthias R. Schreiber, Boris T. Gaensicke, Odette Toloza +2

Atmospheric escape from close-in Neptunes and hot Jupiters around sun-like stars driven by extreme ultraviolet (EUV) irradiation plays an important role in the evolution of exo-pla…

No cataclysmic variables missing: higher merger rate brings into agreement observed and predicted space densities

Diogo Belloni, Matthias R. Schreiber, Mónica Zorotovic +4

The predicted and observed space density of cataclysmic variables (CVs) have been for a long time discrepant by at least an order of magnitude. The standard model of CV evolution p…
