A new level of photometric precision: WIRE observations of eclipsing binary stars
Hans Bruntt, John Southworth
The WIRE satellite was launched in March 1999 and was the first space mission to do asteroseismology from space on a large number of stars. WIRE has produced very high-precision ph…
Metal-rich debris discs around white dwarfs
B. T. Gaensicke, T. R. Marsh, J. Southworth +1
We have identified two moderately hot (~18000-22000K) white dwarfs, SDSSJ1228+1040 and SDSSJ1043+0855, which exhibit double-peaked emission lines in the CaII 8600A triplet. These l…
The ultra-compact binary candidate KUV 23182+1007 is a bright quasar
John Southworth, A. Schwope, B. T. Gaensicke +1
KUV 23182+1007 was identified as a blue object in the Kiso UV Survey in the 1980s. Classification-dispersion spectroscopy showed a featureless continuum except for a strong emissio…
A method for the direct determination of the surface gravities of transiting extrasolar planets
John Southworth, Peter J. Wheatley, Giles Sams
We show that the surface gravity of a transiting extrasolar planet can be calculated from only the spectroscopic orbit of its parent star and the analysis of its transit light curv…
SDSS J233325.92+152222.1 and the evolution of intermediate polars
John Southworth, B. T. Gaensicke, T. R. Marsh +2
Intermediate polars (IPs) are cataclysmic variables which contain magnetic white dwarfs with a rotational period shorter than the binary orbital period. Evolutionary theory predict…
