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…
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…
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…
Constraints on an optical counterpart for the long-period radio transient GPM J1839-10
Ingrid Pelisoli, A. J. Brown, N. Castro Segura +14
Long period radio transients (LPTs) are periodic radio sources showing pulsed emission on timescales from minutes to hours. The underlying sources behind this emission are currentl…
A Sibling of AR Scorpii: SDSS J230641.47244055.8 and the Observational Blueprint of White Dwarf Pulsars
N. Castro Segura, I. Pelisoli, B. T. Gänsicke +21
Radio pulsating white dwarf (WD) systems, known as WD pulsars, are non-accreting binary systems where the rapidly spinning WD interacts with a low-mass companion producing pulsed n…
Asteroseismology of WD J004917.14-252556.81, the Most Massive Pulsating White Dwarf
O. Caliskan, M. Uzundag, M. Kilic +10
We present extensive follow-up time-series photometry of WD J00492525, the most massive pulsating white dwarf currently known with and $\log{\i…
A magnitude-limited catalogue of unresolved white dwarf-main sequence binaries from Gaia DR3
Alberto Rebassa-Mansergas, Enrique Solano, Alex J. Brown +6
Binary stars containing a white dwarf and a main-sequence star, WDMS binaries, can be used to study a wide range of aspects of stellar astrophysics. We build a magnitude-limited sa…
A targeted search for binary white dwarf pulsars using Gaia and WISE
Ingrid Pelisoli, T. R. Marsh, G. Tovmassian +24
After its discovery in 2016, the white dwarf binary AR Scorpii (AR Sco) remained for several years the only white dwarf system to show pulsed radio emission associated with a fast-…
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…
