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…
Now you see me, now you don't: Deep, long-lived obscuration events of white dwarfs by dust and debris from disintegrating planetesimals
J. van Roestel, S. Bhattacharjee, J. A. Guidry +22
Transiting dust and debris around white dwarfs provide a direct view of planetary disruption. We report six previously non-variable white dwarfs that underwent single, deep obscura…
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…
