The future of high-resolution UV spectroscopy: Science with a UV Échelle spectrograph on the Habitable Worlds Observatory, or a dedicated mission
Annalisa De Cia, David Cont, Kevin Heng +39
High-resolution UV spectroscopy serves a diversity of science cases, from small bodies to planets, stars, and galaxies, but is currently limited to the Hubble Space Telescope and b…
ESO User Support and Observation Preparation for VLTI Science Operations
M. Wittkowski, G. Beccari, A. Corporaal +15
We present recent enhancements to VLTI observing capabilities from a user-oriented perspective, together with new developments in ESO's Observation Handling Tools and end-to-end op…
BSN-VI: Multiband Light Curve Modeling of Four W UMa-Type Contact Binaries I. Revisiting Energy Transfer Mechanisms and Luminosity Behavior
Elham Sarvari, Atila Poro, Raul Michel +5
We presented the first high-precision, detailed photometric analysis of four W Ursae Majoris (W UMa)-type contact binaries, Linear 10772300, Linear 11150338, Linear 20372537 and DM…
The supernova Ia progenitor problem in the 2040s
Thomas Kupfer, Simone Scaringi, Ingrid Pelisoli +8
Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are fundamental to cosmology and galactic chemical evolution, yet the nature of their progenitor systems remains unresolved. Multiple evolutionary pathw…
The final stages of binary evolution using multi-messenger studies
Thomas Kupfer, Simone Scaringi, Paul Groot +11
Ultracompact Galactic binaries with orbital periods below an hour are among the strongest persistent gravitational-wave (GW) sources in the mHz band and will constitute the dominan…
Nova Explosions in 2040
Alessandro Ederoclite, Domitilla De Martino, Paul Groot +7
Novae are thermonuclear explosions on the surface of accreting white dwarfs and are key laboratories for studying explosive nucleosynthesis, particle acceleration, shock physics, a…
Spectroscopic Alerts for the Time-Domain Era
Alejandra Melo, Paula Sanchez-Saez, Valentin D. Ivanov +13
Time-domain astronomy is entering an era of unprecedented discovery driven by wide-field, high-cadence surveys such as LSST, Roman, Euclid, SKA, and PLATO. While some of these faci…
White Dwarf Binaries: Probes of Future Astrophysics
Anna F. Pala, Roberto Raddi, Alberto Rebassa-Mansergas +25
White dwarf binaries are fundamental astrophysical probes. They represent ideal laboratories to test the models of binary evolution, which also apply to the sources of gravitationa…
The Future of Evolved Planetary Systems
Roberto Raddi, Anna F. Pala, Alberto Rebassa-Mansergas +19
Understanding the formation, evolution, and chemical diversity of exoplanets are now central areas of astrophysics research. White dwarfs provide a uniquely sensitive laboratory fo…
White Dwarfs in Wide Binary Systems as Reliable Age Calibrators
Alberto Rebassa-Mansergas, Roberto Raddi, Anna F. Pala +13
Deriving precise stellar ages is a challenging task. Consequently, age-dependent relations - such as the age-metallicity and age-velocity dispersion relations of the Milky Way, or…
The Galactic White Dwarf Population
Santiago Torres, Roberto Raddi, Alberto Rebassa-Mansergas +15
The ESA Gaia mission has revolutionized our understanding of the white dwarf population, delivering an unprecedented census of these nearby remnants and revealing previously unseen…
How Mass Flows Through Accretion Discs: A Spectral-Timing Vision for the 2040s
Simone Scaringi, Domitilla de Martino, Anna F. Pala +17
Understanding how mass and angular momentum flow through accretion discs remains a fundamental unsolved problem in astrophysics. Accreting white dwarfs offer an ideal laboratory fo…
ESO Expanding Horizons White Paper: Electromagnetic characterisation of millihertz gravitational-wave sources in the Milky Way
James Munday, Valeriya Korol, Camilla Danielski +8
The millihertz band is densely populated by continuous gravitational-wave signals from Galactic compact binaries, dominated by double white dwarfs (DWDs; binaries of two white dwar…
Cataclysmic Variables and AM CVn Binaries in SRG/eROSITA + Gaia: Volume Limited Samples, X-ray Luminosity Functions, and Space Densities
Antonio C. Rodriguez, Kareem El-Badry, Valery Suleimanov +22
We present volume-limited samples of cataclysmic variables (CVs) and AM CVn binaries jointly selected from SRG/eROSITA eRASS1 and \textit{Gaia} DR3 using an X-ray + optical color-c…
LISA Galactic binaries with astrometry from Gaia DR3
Thomas Kupfer, Valeriya Korol, Tyson B. Littenberg +11
Galactic compact binaries with orbital periods shorter than a few hours emit detectable gravitational waves at low frequencies. Their gravitational wave signals can be detected wit…
