A brown dwarf mass donor in an accreting binary
S. P. Littlefair, V. S. Dhillon, T. R. Marsh +3
A long standing and unverified prediction of binary star evolution theory is the existence of a population of white dwarfs accreting from sub-stellar donor stars. Such systems ough…
Eclipsing Binaries in Open Clusters
John Southworth
Detached eclipsing binaries are very useful objects for calibrating theoretical stellar models and checking their predictions. Detached eclipsing binaries in open clusters are part…
Testing convection in stellar models using detached eclipsing binaries
John Southworth, Hans Bruntt
The fundamental properties of detached eclipsing binary stars can be measured very accurately, which could make them important objects for constraining the treatment of convection…
Eclipsing Binary Stars from Space
H. Bruntt, J. Southworth
We have begun a programme to obtain high-precision photometry of bright detached eclipsing binary (dEB) stars with the Wide field InfraRed Explorer (WIRE) satellite. Due to the sma…
Absolute dimensions of eclipsing binaries. XXIV. The Be star system DW Carinae, a member of the open cluster Collinder 228
John Southworth, J. V. Clausen
DW Carinae is a close but detached early B-type eclipsing binary in the young open cluster Cr 228. We have measured accurate physical properties of its components (masses and radii…
VLT/FORS spectroscopy of faint cataclysmic variables discovered by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
John Southworth, B. T. Gaensicke, T. R. Marsh +5
We present medium-resolution VLT/FORS2 spectroscopy of six cataclysmic variables discovered by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. We determine orbital periods for SDSS J023322.61+005059…
