Orbital periods and component masses of three double white dwarfs
A. Rebassa-Mansergas, S. G. Parsons, E. Garcia-Berro +4
The merger of close double white dwarfs (CDWDs) is one of the favourite evolutionary channels for producing Type Ia supernovae (SN Ia). Unfortunately, current theories of the evolu…
The age-metallicity relation in the solar neighbourhood from a pilot sample of white dwarf-main sequence binaries
A. Rebassa-Mansergas, B. Anguiano, E. García-Berro +6
The age-metallicity relation (AMR) is a fundamental observational constraint for understanding how the Galactic disc formed and evolved chemically in time. However, there is not ye…
The White Dwarf Binary Pathways Survey I: A sample of FGK stars with white dwarf companions
S. G. Parsons, A. Rebassa-Mansergas, M. R. Schreiber +3
The number of spatially unresolved white dwarf plus main-sequence star binaries has increased rapidly in the last decade, jumping from only ~30 in 2003 to over 3000. However, in th…
The SDSS spectroscopic catalogue of white dwarf-main sequence binaries: new identifications from DR9-12
A. Rebassa-Mansergas, J. J. Ren, S. G. Parsons +5
We present an updated version of the spectroscopic catalogue of white dwarf-main sequence (WDMS) binaries from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). We identify 939 WDMS binaries wi…
Detached cataclysmic variables are crossing the orbital period gap
Monica Zorotovic, Matthias R. Schreiber, Steven G. Parsons +6
A central hypothesis in the theory of cataclysmic variable (CV) evolution is the need to explain the observed lack of accreting systems in the ~2-3 h orbital period range, known as…
