The Blue Lurker WOCS 14020: A Long-Period Post-Common-Envelope Binary in M67 Originating from a Merger in a Triple System

Emily M. Leiner, Natalie M. Gosnell, Aaron M. Geller +3

We present Hubble Space Telescope far-ultraviolet (FUV) spectra of a blue-lurkerwhite-dwarf (BL-WD) binary system in the 4 Gyr open cluster M67. We fit the FUV spectrum of the W…

Stellar Spin Down in Post-Mass Transfer Binary Systems

Meng Sun, Seth Gossage, Emily M. Leiner +1

Motivated by measurements of the rotation speed of accretor stars in post-mass-transfer (post-MT) systems, we investigate how magnetic braking affects the spin-down of individual s…

Stellar properties of an actively accreting Algol-type eclipsing binary 2M16212643+2136590

Marina Kounkel, Matteo Statti, Avani Kulkarni +2

Interacting binary stars undergo evolution that is significantly different from single stars, thus, a larger sample of such systems with precisely determined stellar parameters is…

WOCS 4540: Detailed Analysis of a Very Long Orbital Period Blue Straggler

Meng Sun, Robert D. Mathieu

WOCS 4540 is the longest orbital period ( days) blue straggler (BSS) - white dwarf (WD) pair in the old open cluster NGC 188 . It also contains one of the most lu…

2M17091769+3127589: a mass-transfer binary with an extreme mass ratio

Annaliese Miller, Marina Kounkel, Meng Sun +5

We present the orbital solution of a peculiar double-lined spectroscopic and eclipsing binary system, 2M17091769+3127589. This solution was obtained by a simultaneous fit of both A…
