Discovery of a Nearby Ultra-fast Magnetic White Dwarf Propeller: Common Pathways to Magnetic Cataclysmic Variables
Antonio C. Rodriguez, Kareem El-Badry, R. Michael Rich +11
The fastest spinning white dwarfs (WDs), which approach break-up speeds, are found in close binary systems. In the two known magnetic WD ``propellers'', AE~Aqr and LAMOST J0240+195…
Discovery of a second-generation planet candidate accreting onto a white dwarf
Jamie T. Williams, Boris T. Gänsicke, Nicholas C. Stone +10
Many white dwarfs accrete the debris of disrupted planetary bodies, detected in the form of metal-enrichment in their atmospheres, dusty or gaseous circumstellar discs, and photome…
The white dwarf binary pathways survey - XI. The Gaia-GALEX UV Excess Sample for systems within 350 pc
James A. Garbutt, S. G. Parsons, N. Gentile Fusillo +9
White dwarfs (WDs) with F, G or K type binary companions are the last common ancestor to a zoo of exotic phenomena. Finding a clean sample of such systems is difficult, as WDs in s…
Planetary Accretion Is Less Frequent in Wide Binaries: Evidence from Metal-Enriched White Dwarfs in DESI DR1
Siyi Xu, Laura. K. Rogers, Joan Najita +32
Binary stars are common in the Galaxy, and understanding how stellar binarity influences the formation and evolution of planetary systems is an active area of research. In this stu…
Now you see me, now you don't: Deep, long-lived obscuration events of white dwarfs by dust and debris from disintegrating planetesimals
J. van Roestel, S. Bhattacharjee, J. A. Guidry +22
Transiting dust and debris around white dwarfs provide a direct view of planetary disruption. We report six previously non-variable white dwarfs that underwent single, deep obscura…
Direct detections of white dwarfs in four WD+dM post-common envelope binaries within 20 pc
Mairi W. O'Brien, David J. Wilson, Pier-Emmanuel Tremblay +5
Characterising post-common envelope binaries (PCEBs) containing a white dwarf and a main-sequence companion is essential for improving theories of binary evolution. This paper pres…
