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…

The massive hot subdwarf binary LAMOST J065816.72+094343.1

F. Mattig, B. N. Barlow, D. Liu +9

Massive short-period binaries involving hot subdwarf stars (sdO/Bs) are rare but important to constraining pathways for binary star evolution. Moreover, some of the most promising…

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…

PLATOSpec: a precise spectrograph in support of space missions

P. Kabáth, M. Skarka, A. Hatzes +42

The upcoming space missions that will characterize exoplanets, such as PLATO and Ariel, will collect huge amounts of data that will need to be complemented with ground-based observ…

The twin red giant branch system BD+20 5391 A case study of low-mass double-core evolution

M. Kurpas, M. Dorsch, S. Geier +12

Understanding interactions of binary systems on the red giant branch is crucial to understanding the formation of compact stellar remnants such as helium-core white dwarfs (He-WDs)…

Where are the binaries? -- Searching for blue horizontal-branch stars in binary systems in the inner Galactic Halo

R. Culpan, M. Dorsch, I. Pelisoli +14

Blue horizontal-branch (BHB) stars are evolved low-mass objects that have completed their core hydrogen burning main-sequence (MS) stage and have lost significant mass during the r…

A spectroscopic and kinematic survey of fast hot subdwarfs

S. Geier, U. Heber, A. Irrgang +19

Hot subdwarfs (sdO/B) are the stripped helium cores of red giants formed by binary interactions. Close hot subdwarf binaries with massive white dwarf companions have been proposed…

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…

Looking into the cradle of the grave: J22564-5910, a young post-merger hot subdwarf?

Joris Vos, Ingrid Pelisoli, Jan Budaj +10

We present the discovery of J22564-5910, a new type of hot subdwarf (sdB) which shows evidence of gas present in the system and has shallow, multi-peaked hydrogen and helium lines…
