3D spectroscopic analysis of helium-line white dwarfs
Elena Cukanovaite, Pier-Emmanuel Tremblay, Pierre Bergeron +3
In this paper, we present corrections to the spectroscopic parameters of DB and DBA white dwarfs with -10.0 < log(H/He) < -2.0, 7.5 < log(g) < 9.0 and 12000 K < T_eff < 34000 K, ba…
Single magnetic white dwarfs with Balmer emission lines: A small class with consistent physical characteristics as possible signposts for close-in planetary companions
Boris T. Gaensicke, Pablo Rodriguez-Gil, Nicola P. Gentile Fusillo +4
We report the identification of SDSS J121929.45+471522.8 as the third apparently isolated magnetic (B~18.5+/-1.0,MG) white dwarf exhibiting Zeeman-split Balmer emission lines. The…
Intermediate-Mass Stars Become Magnetic White Dwarfs
Ilaria Caiazzo, Jeremy Heyl, Harvey Richer +8
When a star exhausts its nuclear fuel, it either explodes as a supernova or more quiescently becomes a white dwarf, an object about half the mass of our Sun with a radius of about…
A systematic search of Zwicky Transient Facility data for ultracompact binary LISA-detectable gravitational-wave sources
Kevin B. Burdge, Thomas A. Prince, Jim Fuller +31
Using photometry collected with the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF), we are conducting an ongoing survey for binary systems with short orbital periods ( with…
A white dwarf bound to the transiting planetary system WASP-98
John Southworth, P. -E. Tremblay, B. T. Gaensicke +2
WASP-98 is a planetary system containing a hot Jupiter transiting a late-G dwarf. A fainter star 12 arcsec distant has previously been identified as a white dwarf, with a distance…
Forever young white dwarfs: when stellar ageing stops
María E. Camisassa, Leandro G. Althaus, Santiago Torres +5
White dwarf stars are the most common end point of stellar evolution. Of special interest are the ultramassive white dwarfs, as they are related to type Ia Supernovae explosions, m…
