Evidence for neutron capture in heavy-metal hot subdwarfs: Far-UV spectroscopy of EC22536-5304 and LSIV-14 116

M. Dorsch, C. S. Jeffery, J. Deprince +8

Most hot subdwarfs (sdO/B) are low-mass core-helium-burning stars formed through binary interaction. A subgroup of intermediate He-rich sdOBs shows extreme heavy-metal (Z>30) enric…

The SALT survey of helium-rich hot subdwarfs: final sample and classification

C. Simon Jeffery, Matti Dorsch, Asish Philip Monai +3

A medium-resolution spectroscopic survey of helium-rich hot subdwarfs has been carried out using the Southern African Large Telescope (SALT). Objectives include the discovery of ex…

A search for close binary systems in the SALT survey of hydrogen-deficient stars using {\it TESS}

E. J. Snowdon, C. S. Jeffery, S. Schlagenhauf +1

The {\it TESS} periodograms of the SALT survey catalogue of hydrogen-deficient stars were searched for evidence of short-period variability. Periodic light curve variations were id…

Discovery of three magnetic helium-rich hot subdwarfs with SALT

M. Dorsch, C. S. Jeffery, A. Philip Monai +6

Magnetic fields with strengths ranging from 300 to 500 kG have recently been discovered in a group of four extremely similar helium-enriched hot subdwarf (He-sdO) stars. Besides th…

Spectroscopic diagnostics of lead stratification in hot subdwarf atmospheres

L. J. A. Scott, C. S. Jeffery, C. M. Byrne +1

Heavy metal subdwarfs are a class of hot subdwarfs with very high abundances of heavy elements, typically around 10 000 times solar. They include stars which are strongly enhanced…
