Chemical evolution of high-mass stars in close binaries. I. The eclipsing binary V453 Cygni
K. Pavlovski, J. Southworth
The eclipsing and double-lined spectroscopic binary system V453 Cygni consists of two early B-type stars, one of which is nearing the terminal age main sequence and one which is ro…
Homogeneous studies of transiting extrasolar planets. II. Physical properties
John Southworth
I present an homogeneous determination of the physical properties of 14 transiting extrasolar planetary systems for which good data are available. The input quantities for each sys…
The fainter the better: cataclysmic variable stars from the SDSS
John Southworth, B T Gaensicke, T R Marsh
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey has identified a total of 212 cataclysmic variables, most of which are fainter than 18th magnitude. This is the deepest and most populous homogeneous s…
Orbital periods of cataclysmic variables identified by the SDSS. V. VLT, NTT and Magellan observations of nine equatorial systems
John Southworth, B T Gaensicke, T R Marsh +6
We present VLT and Magellan spectroscopy and NTT photometry of nine faint cataclysmic variables (CVs) which were spectroscopically identified by the SDSS. We measure orbital period…
Absolute dimensions of eclipsing binaries. XXVI. Setting a new standard: Masses, radii, and abundances for the F-type systems AD Bootis, VZ Hydrae, and WZ Ophiuchi
J. V. Clausen, G. Torres, H. Bruntt +5
We determine absolute dimensions and abundances for the three F-type main-sequence detached eclipsing binaries AD Boo, VZ Hya, and WZ Oph and perform a detailed comparison with res…
On the evolutionary status of short period cataclysmic variables
S. P. Littlefair, V. S. Dhillon, T. R. Marsh +5
(Abridged) We present high-speed, three-colour photometry of seven short period (Porb <= 95 mins) eclipsing CVs from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. We determine the system parameter…
