V407 Vul: a triple star system with an AM CVn detectable by gravitational wave observatories

James Munday, Antonio C. Rodriguez, Nicole Reindl +23

The AM CVn class includes mass transferring, ultra-compact double white dwarf binaries with orbital periods on the timescale of minutes. A long-standing puzzle is that none of the…

K 1-6 is a photoionised ISM nebula shaped by a fast-moving hot white dwarf in a triple system

Jaroslav Merc, David Jones, Ana Escorza +22

K 1-6 has long been classified as a planetary nebula (PN) hosting a binary central star, yet it has remained poorly studied due to its faintness. The central star exhibits pronounc…

Physics of Eclipsing Binaries. VI. Hot, compact stars

David Jones, Nicole Reindl, Kyle Conroy +9

Models of eclipsing binaries require the assignment of appropriate emergent intensities to the surface elements of the binary components. For distance-dependent modelling of flux-c…

Studying hot evolved stars with ultraviolet spectroscopy

Stephan Geier, Nicole Reindl, Matti Dorsch +7

Hot evolved stars are key objects to reconstruct the various evolutionary pathways of Sun-like stars, to probe binary interactions and the physics of supernovae. They serve as powe…

Ancient 'ghost' planetary nebulae discovered with amateur telescopes

J. A. Manuel, D. Jones, M. Santander-García +1

As planetary nebulae evolve, they fade and dissipate into the surrounding interstellar medium making them harder to detect. Modern, advanced amateur equipment can help to uncover t…

Two hot pre-white dwarfs inside the red-giant-branch planetary nebula Pa 13 -- Double core evolution or common envelope-induced rejuvenation?

Nicole Reindl, David Jones, Todd Hillwig +4

Close binary central stars of PNe offer a unique window for investigating the conditions immediately following the ejection of a common envelope (CE). Double eclipsing and double-l…

Spectral evolution of hot hybrid white dwarfs: II. Photometry

Semih Filiz, Nicole Reindl, David Jones +4

We present a photometric analysis of 19 DA and 13 DAO white dwarfs (WDs) with effective temperatures exceeding 60 kK, building on the spectral analysis reported in the first paper…

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…

How an overweight and rapidly rotating PG 1159 star in the Galactic halo challenges evolutionary models

Nina Mackensen, Nicole Reindl, Klaus Werner +2

PG 1159 stars are thought to be progenitors of the majority of H-deficient white dwarfs. Their unusual He-, C-, and O-dominated surface composition is typically believed to result…

Variability of Central Stars of Planetary Nebulae with the Zwicky Transient Facility. II. Long-Timescale Variables including Wide Binary and Late Thermal Pulse Candidates

Soumyadeep Bhattacharjee, Nicole Reindl, Howard E. Bond +14

In this second paper on our variability survey of central stars of planetary nebulae (CSPNe) using ZTF, we report 11 long-timescale variables with variability timescales ranging fr…

Three new hot hydrogen-deficient pre-white dwarfs

Klaus Werner, Nicole Reindl, Max Pritzkuleit +1

We have detected three new hydrogen-deficient (H < 0.001 mass fraction) pre-white dwarfs (WDs) with helium-dominated atmospheres. The first object is a relatively cool PG1159 star…

Spectral evolution of hot hybrid white dwarfs I. Spectral analysis

Semih Filiz, Klaus Werner, Thomas Rauch +1

Hydrogen-rich white dwarfs (WDs) comprise the majority of the WD population, but are only rarely found at the very hot end of the WD cooling sequence. A small subgroup that exhibit…

Spectroscopic survey of faint planetary-nebula nuclei VI. Seventeen hydrogen-rich central stars

Nicole Reindl, Howard E. Bond, Klaus Werner +1

We present an analysis of 17 H-rich central stars of planetary nebulae (PNe) observed in our spectroscopic survey of nuclei of faint Galactic PNe carried out at the 10-m Hobby-Eber…

A closer look at the binary content of NGC 1850

S. Saracino, S. Kamann, N. Bastian +7

Studies of young clusters have shown that a large fraction of O-/early B-type stars are in binary systems, where the binary fraction increases with mass. These massive stars are pr…
