The scarcity of white dwarf-brown dwarf binaries in the solar neighbourhood: A population synthesis study
Alejandro Santos-García, Santiago Torres, Alberto Rebassa-Mansergas +3
White dwarf--brown dwarf (WD--BD) binaries are intrinsically rare systems that provide a unique opportunity to study binary evolution and the formation of substellar companions. De…
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…
The DBL Survey II: towards a mass-period distribution of double white dwarf binaries
James Munday, Ingrid Pelisoli, Pier-Emmanuel Tremblay +14
Double white dwarf binaries are an important remnant of binary evolution as they are possible type Ia supernova progenitors and strong sources of gravitational waves in the low-fre…
Reconstructing post-common envelope white dwarf+main sequence binary histories through inverse population synthesis techniques
Santiago Torres, Marta Gili, Alberto Rebassa-Mansergas +3
The evolution of binary stellar systems involves a wide range of physical processes, many of which are not yet well understood. We aim to build a general-purpose algorithm based on…
A population synthesis study of the Gaia 100 pc unresolved white dwarf-main sequence binary population
Alejandro Santos-García, Santiago Torres, Alberto Rebassa-Mansergas +1
Binary stars consisting of a white dwarf and a main sequence star (WDMS) are valuable for studying key astrophysical questions. However, observational biases strongly affect the kn…
