Plato benchmark stars I. The initial benchmark sample
T. Merle, P. F. L. Maxted, O. L. Creevey +22
The ESA PLATO mission aims to detect and characterise Earth-size exoplanets orbiting bright, late-type stars using high-precision photometry and asteroseismology. Precise stellar p…
The scarcity of white dwarf-brown dwarf binaries in the solar neighbourhood: A population synthesis study
Alejandro Santos-García, Santiago Torres, Alberto Rebassa-Mansergas +3
White dwarf--brown dwarf (WD--BD) binaries are intrinsically rare systems that provide a unique opportunity to study binary evolution and the formation of substellar companions. De…
Influence of mass-transfer stability on the formation of post-common-envelope binaries
Yanxu Shi, Hongwei Ge, Zhenwei Li +9
Post-common-envelope binaries are the natural laboratories for constraining the physics of common envelope evolution, which is one of the most uncertain phases in binary stellar ev…
An Ultramassive White Dwarf with a Likely Oxygen-Neon Core
Stefan M. Arseneau, J. J. Hermes, Vedant Chandra +4
The core composition of ultramassive white dwarfs remains an open question in stellar evolution. The carbon content of white dwarf cores is critical to their role as progenitors of…
Revisiting the Galactic age-metallicity relation from wide white dwarf-main-sequence binaries
Alberto Rebassa-Mansergas, Iset Tejero-Gómez, Roberto Raddi
The age-metallicity relation (AMR) is a fundamental observational constraint for understanding the chemical evolution of the Galaxy. As reliable cosmochronometers, white dwarfs in…
Spectroscopic Characterization of WD J000801.25-350450 and its Two Co-Moving Companions
Peter A. Jałowiczor, Thomas P. Bickle, J. Davy Kirkpatrick +18
We present new spectroscopic data for Gaia DR3 2309499817384726016 (WD0008-350A) and its two wide, co-moving, low-mass companions. We confirm the white dwarf is a hydrogen-rich DA,…
