Mapping the Landscape of M Dwarf X-ray Flares: New Discoveries in Context

Imri A. Dickstein, Maayane T. Soumagnac, Eran O. Ofek +4

We report the discovery of 11 X-ray flares from 7 M dwarfs previously unknown to exhibit flaring activity, by cross-matching eROSITA observations of bright, nearby M dwarfs with th…

Discovery of the first outbursting hot subdwarf binary: ZTF J0007+4804

E. Stringer, T. Kupfer, K. Deshmukh +10

Hot subdwarf binaries with white dwarf companions with orbital periods of less than two hours are progenitor candidates for massive single white dwarfs as well as a variety of ther…

No Period Change in Two Long-Period AM CVn Binaries

Matthew J. Green, Thomas R. Marsh, Jan van Roestel +25

Ultracompact binary systems, consisting of two compact objects in an orbit , should exhibit measurable rates of orbital period change () due t…

Spectroscopic follow-up of hot subdwarf variables found in ZTF -- Atmospheric and fundamental properties of radial-mode sdB pulsators

Corey W. Bradshaw, Thomas Kupfer, Alekzander R. Kosakowski +2

Hot subdwarf variables (sdBVs) that display large-amplitude (1%), short-period variability, as a result of radial-mode pulsations, have recently become objects of interest as th…

Observing Orbital Decay in the Ultracompact Hot Subdwarf Binary System ZTFJ213056.71+442046.5

Paul Teckenburg, Thomas Kupfer, Alex J. Brown +7

Ultracompact Galactic binary systems (UCBs) emit low-frequency gravitational waves (GWs). The emission of GWs is causing these systems to lose angular momentum, which is detectable…

Precise Parameters for Two LISA Sources

Manuel Barrientos, Mukremin Kilic, Warren R. Brown +5

We present precise parameters for two compact double white dwarf binaries, SDSS J232230.20+050942.0 (J2322+0509) and SDSS J063449.92+380352.2 (J0634+3803), with orbital periods of…

Eclipsing white dwarf from the Zwicky Transient Facility: II. Seven eclipsing double white dwarfs

J. van Roestel, K. Burdge, I. Caiazzo +15

In a systematic search for eclipsing white dwarfs using Zwicky transient facility (ZTF) data, we found seven eclipsing double white dwarfs with orbital periods ranging from 45 minu…

A New LISA-Detectable Type Ia Supernova Progenitor in the Southern Sky: SMSS J1138-5139

Alekzander Kosakowski, Matti Dorsch, Warren R. Brown +3

We present the discovery and analysis of a nearby eclipsing ultra-compact accreting binary at coordinates 11:38:10.91 51:39:49.15 (SMSS J11385139), the first well-constrained…

The ELM Survey South. II. Two dozen new low mass white dwarf binaries

Alekzander Kosakowski, Warren R. Brown, Mukremin Kilic +5

We present the results from our ongoing spectroscopic survey targeting low mass white dwarf binaries, focusing on the southern sky. We used a Gaia DR2 and eDR3 based selection and…

Four new deeply-eclipsing white dwarfs in ZTF

Alekzander Kosakowski, M. Kilic, W. R. Brown +2

We present the results of a search for deeply-eclipsing white dwarfs in the ZTF Data Release 4. We identify nine deeply-eclipsing white dwarf candidates, four of which we followed…
