Discovery of a Nearby Ultra-fast Magnetic White Dwarf Propeller: Common Pathways to Magnetic Cataclysmic Variables
Antonio C. Rodriguez, Kareem El-Badry, R. Michael Rich +11
The fastest spinning white dwarfs (WDs), which approach break-up speeds, are found in close binary systems. In the two known magnetic WD ``propellers'', AE~Aqr and LAMOST J0240+195…
GRB 250424A: A Case Study of Energy Injection with Multiwavelength Observations
Yifang Liang, Yun Wang, WeiKang Zheng +61
We present a comprehensive multiwavelength analysis of the long-duration gamma-ray burst (GRB) 250424A. Our dataset spans from the prompt gamma-ray emission to late-time optical mo…
The Physics of Mass Transfer in Substellar and Low-Mass Binaries
Samuel Whitebook, Jim Fuller, Kevin Burdge +3
Several dozen binary ultracool and brown dwarf systems have been identified to date. These systems represent valuable probes of star and planet formation at the lowest mass scales.…
Stars stably accreting from substellar objects
Aaron Householder, Kaitlyn Shin, Kevin B. Burdge +11
Substellar objects such as brown dwarfs and planets are generally expected to remain detached from their main-sequence host stars unless orbital decay or stellar expansion brings t…
A Mass Transferring Brown Dwarf Binary on a 57 Minute Orbit
Samuel Whitebook, Antonio C. Rodriguez, Kevin Burdge +9
Mass transfer in stellar binaries has been well studied in most stellar mass ranges, with the notable exception of ultracool stars and substellar brown dwarfs. We report the discov…
Optical Spectroscopy of the Most Compact Accreting Binary Harboring a Magnetic White Dwarf and a Hydrogen-rich Donor
Ilkham Galiullin, Antonio C. Rodriguez, Kareem El-Badry +4
Accreting white dwarfs in close binary systems, commonly known as cataclysmic variables (CVs), with orbital periods below the canonical period minimum ( 80 minutes) are ra…
TRIPP: A General Purpose Data Pipeline for Astronomical Image Processing
Alex Thomas, Natalie LeBaron, Luca Angeleri +26
We present the TRansient Image Processing Pipeline (TRIPP), a transient and variable source detection pipeline that employs both difference imaging and light curve analysis techniq…
A Fast Periodicity Detection Algorithm Sensitive to Arbitrary Waveforms
Douglas P. Finkbeiner, Thomas A. Prince, Samuel E. Whitebook
A reexamination of period finding algorithms is prompted by new large area astronomical sky surveys that can identify billions of individual sources having a thousand or more obser…
The Local Galactic Transient Survey Applied to an Optical Search for Directed Intelligence
Alex Thomas, Natalie LeBaron, Luca Angeleri +26
We discuss our transient search for directed energy systems in local galaxies, with calculations indicating the ability of modest searches to detect optical Search for Extraterrest…
Discovery of the Binarity of Gliese 229B, and Constraints on the System's Properties
Samuel Whitebook, Timothy Brandt, Gregory Mirek Brandt +1
We present two epochs of radial velocities of the first imaged T dwarf Gliese 229B obtained with Keck/NIRSPEC. The two radial velocities are discrepant with one another, and with t…
