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…
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…
