The Silent Majority: The Interacting Post-Common-Envelope Binaries Underlying Cataclysmic Variables
Yarin Meir Shani, Na'ama Hallakoun, Sagi Ben-Ami +4
We analyze the orbital period distribution of post-common-envelope white-dwarf-main-sequence (WDMS) binaries by cross-matching the new spectroscopic Gaia DR3 WDMS catalog with TESS…

The initial-to-final mass relation of white dwarfs in intermediate-separation binaries
Oren Ironi, Sagi Ben-Ami, Na'ama Hallakoun +1
We examine the applicability of the initial-to-final mass relation (IFMR) for white dwarfs (WDs) in intermediate-separation binary systems (approximately 1 AU), using astrometric b…

The White Dwarf Pareto: Tracing Mass Loss in Binary Systems
Sahar Shahaf
The white dwarf mass distribution has been studied primarily at two extremes: objects that presumably evolved as single stars and members of close binaries that likely underwent su…
