From Main Sequence Binary to Blast: MESA Modeling of the Double-Detonation Progenitor PTF1~J2238+7430
Mercedes S. Hernandez, Thomas Kupfer, Diogo Belloni +1
Hot subdwarf B (sdB) stars in close binaries with white dwarf (WD) companions are potential progenitors of double-detonation thermonuclear supernovae. The recently discovered syste…
Revisiting the extremely long-period cataclysmic variables V479 Andromedae and V1082 Sagitarii
Gagik Tovmassian, Diogo Belloni, Anna F. Pala +56
The overwhelming majority of CVs have orbital periods shorter than 10 hr. However, a few have much longer periods, and their formation and existence pose challenges for the CV evol…
Hot Subdwarfs in Close Binaries Observed from Space III: Reflection Effect Asymmetry Induced by Relativistic Beaming
Brad N. Barlow, Thomas Kupfer, Bryce A. Smith +2
Detailed studies of hot subdwarf B stars with red dwarf or brown dwarf companions can shed light on the effects of binarity on late stellar evolution. Such systems exhibit a strong…
Modelling the AM CVn and Double Detonation Supernova Progenitor Binary System CD-3011223
Kunal Deshmukh, Evan B. Bauer, Thomas Kupfer +1
We present a detailed modelling study of CD-3011223 (CD-30), a hot subdwarf (sdB)-white dwarf (WD) binary identified as a double detonation supernova progenitor, using th…
Detailed follow up studies of three ultracompact sdB binaries
Eric Stringer, Thomas Kupfer, Matti Dorsch
We present follow-up studies of three ultracompact hot subdwarf binaries. Using data from the Zwicky Transient Facility, we find orbital periods of 33.6, 37.3, and 36.9 minutes for…
Limiting the accretion disk light in two mass transferring hot subdwarf binaries
Kunal Deshmukh, Thomas Kupfer, Pasi Hakala +6
We report the results from follow-up observations of two Roche-lobe filling hot subdwarf binaries with white dwarf companions predicted to have accretion disks. ZTF J213056.71+4420…
Discovery of periodic variables in the hot subdwarf catalogue through a systematic search in Zwicky Transient Facility data
Kevin Wang, Thomas Kupfer, Brad N. Barlow
We conduct a systematic search for periodic variables in the hot subdwarf catalogue using data from the Zwicky Transient Facility. We present the classification of 67 HW Vir binari…
Birth of the ELMs: a ZTF survey for evolved cataclysmic variables turning into extremely low-mass white dwarfs
Kareem El-Badry, Hans-Walter Rix, Eliot Quataert +2
We present a systematic survey for mass-transferring and recently-detached cataclysmic variables (CVs) with evolved secondaries, which are progenitors of extremely low-mass white d…
LAMOST J0140355+392651: An evolved cataclysmic variable donor transitioning to become an extremely low mass white dwarf
Kareem El-Badry, Eliot Quataert, Hans-Walter Rix +6
We present LAMOST J0140355+392651 (hereafter J0140), a close ( hours) binary containing a bloated, low-mass () proto-white dwarf (WD)…
Discovery of a stripped red giant core in a bright eclipsing binary star
P. F. L. Maxted, D. R. Anderson, M. R. Burleigh +12
We report the serendipitous discovery from WASP archive photometry of a binary star in which an apparently normal A-type star (J0247-25A) eclipses a smaller, hotter subdwarf star (…
Discovery of a stripped red giant core in a bright eclipsing binary system
P. F. L. Maxted, D. R. Anderson, M. R. Burleigh +11
We have identified a star in the WASP archive photometry with an unusual lightcurve due to the total eclipse of a small, hot star by an apparently normal A-type star and with an or…
