WALTzER: Wide-band Atmospheric Laboratory for Transiting Exoplanet Research

A. G. Sreejith, L. Fossati, M. Lendl +81

Understanding the origin and evolution of planetary atmospheres, and the connection between their lower and upper atmospheric layers, remains a fundamental challenge in exoplanet s…

A 500 pc volume-limited sample of hot subluminous stars III. The short-period binary population

H. Dawson, M. Dorsch, J. Munday +16

Hot subdwarf stars of spectral types O and B (sdO/B) in binaries form as products of substantial mass loss near the tip of the red giant branch and offer powerful constraints on bi…

Long-term eclipse time variations in white dwarf binaries

Amalie Yates, S. G. Parsons, A. J. Brown +15

The overwhelming majority of eclipsing white dwarf (WD) binary systems show quasi-periodic variations in eclipse timings on many year timescales. Currently, the mechanism behind th…

A 500 pc volume-limited sample of hot subluminous stars II. Atmospheric parameters, mass distribution, and kinematics

H. Dawson, M. Dorsch, S. Geier +30

We present a quantitative spectroscopic and kinematic analysis of a volume-complete sample of hot subluminous stars within 500 pc of the Sun, assembled using accurate parallax meas…

Constraints on an optical counterpart for the long-period radio transient GPM J1839-10

Ingrid Pelisoli, A. J. Brown, N. Castro Segura +14

Long period radio transients (LPTs) are periodic radio sources showing pulsed emission on timescales from minutes to hours. The underlying sources behind this emission are currentl…

A Sibling of AR Scorpii: SDSS J230641.47244055.8 and the Observational Blueprint of White Dwarf Pulsars

N. Castro Segura, I. Pelisoli, B. T. Gänsicke +21

Radio pulsating white dwarf (WD) systems, known as WD pulsars, are non-accreting binary systems where the rapidly spinning WD interacts with a low-mass companion producing pulsed n…

A targeted search for binary white dwarf pulsars using Gaia and WISE

Ingrid Pelisoli, T. R. Marsh, G. Tovmassian +24

After its discovery in 2016, the white dwarf binary AR Scorpii (AR Sco) remained for several years the only white dwarf system to show pulsed radio emission associated with a fast-…

Two almost planetary mass survivors of common envelope evolution

S. G. Parsons, A. J. Brown, S. L. Casewell +19

White dwarfs are often found in close binaries with stellar or even substellar companions. It is generally thought that these compact binaries form via common envelope evolution, t…

Analysis of optical spectroscopy and photometry of the type I X-ray bursting system UW CrB

M. R. Kennedy, P. Callanan, P. M. Garnavich +19

UW Coronae Borealis (UW CrB) is a low mass X-ray binary that shows both Type 1 X-ray and optical bursts, which typically last for 20 s. The system has a binary period of close to 2…

: the GOTO project for real-time citizen science in time-domain astrophysics

T. L. Killestein, L. Kelsey, E. Wickens +51

Time-domain astrophysics continues to grow rapidly, with the inception of new surveys drastically increasing data volumes. Democratised, distributed approaches to training sets for…

The BlackGEM telescope array I: Overview

Paul J. Groot, S. Bloemen, P. Vreeswijk +75

The main science aim of the BlackGEM array is to detect optical counterparts to gravitational wave mergers. Additionally, the array will perform a set of synoptic surveys to detect…

A 500 pc volume-limited sample of hot subluminous stars I. Space density, scale height, and population properties

H. Dawson, S. Geier, U. Heber +25

We present the first volume-limited sample of spectroscopically confirmed hot subluminous stars out to 500 pc, defined using the accurate parallax measurements from the {\em Gaia}…
