Searching for White Dwarf Candidates Formed Through Binary evolution in Star Clusters
Huahui Yan, Li Wang, David R. Miller +11
White dwarfs (WDs), the evolutionary endpoints of most stars, can form through both single-star and binary channels. While single-star evolutionary models enable reliable WD age es…
Fates of the sub-stellar objects (FOSSO) I. Fates of the known brown dwarfs in main-sequence--BD binaries
Zhangliang Chen, Hongming Jin, Hongwei Ge +4
Context. Understanding the survival and orbital evolution of brown dwarf (BD) companions during the post-main-sequence (MS) evolution of their host stars is increasingly important,…
A magnetic white dwarf formed through a binary merger within 35 million years
Huahui Yan, Jiamao Lin, Rizhong Zheng +15
White dwarfs (WDs) represent the final evolutionary stage of most stars, typically originating from progenitor stars with masses below approximately 8 to 10 …
Discovery and characterization of ZTF J0112+5827: An 80.9-minute polar with strong cyclotron features
Jiamao Lin, Liangliang Ren, Chengyuan Li +9
We report the discovery and characterization of ZTF J0112+5827, a new magnetic cataclysmic variable with an orbital period of 80.9 minutes. ROSAT observations revealed X-ray emissi…
