The programme "accurate masses for SB2 components"
Jean-Louis Halbwachs, Frédéric Arenou, Henri M. J. Boffin +11
Accurate stellar masses are requested in order to improve our understanding of stellar interiors, but they are still rather rare. Fortunately, the forthcoming Gaia Mission will pro…
Masses of the components of SB2 binaries observed with Gaia. II. Masses derived from PIONIER interferometric observations for Gaia validation
J. -L. Halbwachs, H. M. J. Boffin, J. -B. Le Bouquin +15
In anticipation of the Gaia astrometric mission, a sample of spectroscopic binaries is being observed since 2010 with the Sophie spectrograph at the Haute--Provence Observatory. Ou…
Post-common envelope binaries from SDSS - XVI. Long orbital period systems and the energy budget of CE evolution
A. Rebassa-Mansergas, M. Zorotovic, M. R. Schreiber +10
Virtually all close compact binary stars are formed through common-envelope (CE) evolution. It is generally accepted that during this crucial evolutionary phase a fraction of the o…
Post-common envelope binaries from SDSS - XIV. The DR7 white dwarf-main sequence binary catalogue
A. Rebassa-Mansergas, A. Nebot Gomez-Moran, M. R. Schreiber +4
We present an updated version of the spectroscopic white dwarf-main sequence (WDMS) binary catalogue from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). 395 new systems are serendipitous dis…
Cataclysmic Variables from SDSS. VIII. The Final Year (2007-2008)
Paula Szkody, Scott F. Anderson, Keira Brooks +11
This paper completes the series of cataclysmic variables (CVs) identified from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey I/II. The coordinates, magnitudes and spectra of 33 CVs are presented. A…
Post Common Envelope Binaries from SDSS. XV: Accurate stellar parameters for a cool 0.4-solar mass white dwarf and a 0.16-solar mass M-dwarf in a 3 hour eclipsing binary
S. Pyrzas, B. T. Gaensicke, S. Brady +9
We identify SDSSJ121010.1+334722.9 as an eclipsing post-common-envelope binary, with an orbital period of P ~ 3 hrs, containing a very cool, low-mass, DAZ white dwarf and a low-mas…
