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…
Photometric follow-up of 43 new eclipsing white dwarf plus main-sequence binaries from the ZTF survey
Alex J. Brown, Steven G. Parsons, Jan van Roestel +12
Wide-field time-domain photometric sky surveys are now finding hundreds of eclipsing white dwarf plus M dwarf binaries, a population encompassing a wealth of information and potent…
