Distant White Dwarfs in the US Naval Observatory Flagstaff Station Parallax Sample
S. K. Leggett, P. Bergeron, John P. Subasavage +18
This paper presents new trigonometric parallaxes and proper motions for 214 stars. The measurements were made at the US Naval Observatory Flagstaff Station (NOFS) between 1989 and…
Accretion and activity on the post-common-envelope binary RR~Cae
T. Ribeiro, R. Baptista, S. Kafka +3
Current scenarios for the evolution of interacting close binaries - such as cataclysmic variables (CVs) - rely mainly on our understanding of low-mass star angular momentum loss (A…
Accretion of a Terrestrial-Like Minor Planet by a White Dwarf
Carl Melis, J. Farihi, P. Dufour +5
We present optical and infrared characterization of the polluted DAZ white dwarf GALEX J193156.8+011745. Imaging and spectroscopy from the ultraviolet to the thermal infrared indic…
Spectroscopic Analysis of the White Dwarf KUV 02196+2816: A New Unresolved DA+DB Degenerate Binary
M. -M. Limoges, P. Bergeron, Pierre Dufour
A spectroscopic analysis of the DBA (or DAB) white dwarf KUV 02196+2816 is presented. The observed hydrogen and helium line profiles are shown to be incompatible with model spectra…
Pulsation in carbon-atmosphere white dwarfs: A new chapter in white dwarf asteroseismology
G. Fontaine, P. Brassard, P. Dufour +2
We present some of the results of a survey aimed at exploring the asteroseismological potential of the newly-discovered carbon-atmosphere white dwarfs. We show that, in certains re…
From Shock Breakout to Peak and Beyond: Extensive Panchromatic Observations of the Type Ib Supernova 2008D associated with Swift X-ray Transient 080109
Maryam Modjaz, W. Li, N. Butler +38
We present extensive early photometric (ultraviolet through near-infrared) and spectroscopic (optical and near-infrared) data on supernova (SN) 2008D as well as X-ray data analysis…
