Probabilistic multi-catalogue positional cross-match
F. -X. Pineau, S. Derriere, C. Motch +8
We lay the foundations of a statistical framework for multi-catalogue cross-correlation and cross-identification based on explicit simplified catalogue models. A proper identificat…
The ARCHES project
C. Motch, F. Carrera, F. Genova +12
ARCHES (Astronomical Resource Cross-matching for High Energy Studies) is a FP7-Space funded project whose aim is to provide the international astronomical community with well-chara…
Masses of the components of SB2 binaries observed with Gaia. III. Accurate SB2 orbits for 10 binaries and masses of HIP 87895
Flavien Kiefer, Jean-Louis Halbwachs, Frédéric Arenou +9
In anticipation of the Gaia astrometric mission, a large sample of spectroscopic binaries has been observed since 2010 with the SOPHIE spectrograph at the Haute--Provence Observato…
Detached cataclysmic variables are crossing the orbital period gap
Monica Zorotovic, Matthias R. Schreiber, Steven G. Parsons +6
A central hypothesis in the theory of cataclysmic variable (CV) evolution is the need to explain the observed lack of accreting systems in the ~2-3 h orbital period range, known as…
Infrared identification of hard X-ray sources in the Galaxy
A. Nebot Gómez-Morán, C. Motch, F. -X. Pineau +3
The nature of the low- to intermediate-luminosity (Lx erg s) source population revealed in hard band (2-10 keV) X-ray surveys of the Galactic Plane is poo…
The XMM-Newton serendipitous survey. VII. The third XMM-Newton serendipitous source catalogue
S. R. Rosen, N. A. Webb, M. G. Watson +37
Thanks to the large collecting area (3 x ~1500 cm at 1.5 keV) and wide field of view (30' across in full field mode) of the X-ray cameras on board the European Space Agency X-r…
A precision study of two eclipsing white dwarf plus M dwarf binaries
S. G. Parsons, T. R. Marsh, B. T. Gänsicke +16
We use a combination of X-shooter spectroscopy, ULTRACAM high-speed photometry and SOFI near-infrared photometry to measure the masses and radii of both components of the eclipsing…
Post-common-envelope binaries from SDSS. XIII: Mass dependencies of the orbital period distribution
M. Zorotovic, M. R. Schreiber, B. T. Gänsicke +11
Post-common-envelope binaries (PCEBs) consisting of a white dwarf (WD) and a main-sequence secondary star are ideal systems to constrain models of common-envelope (CE) evolution. U…
Post common envelope binaries from SDSS. XII: The orbital period distribution
A. Nebot Gómez-Morán, B. T. Gänsicke, M. R. Schreiber +18
The complexity of the common envelope phase and of magnetic stellar wind braking currently limits our understanding of close binary evolution. Because of their intrinsically simple…
Post-common-envelope binaries from SDSS. IX: Constraining the common-envelope efficiency
M. Zorotovic, M. R. Schreiber, B. T. Gänsicke +1
Reconstructing the evolution of post-common-envelope binaries (PCEBs) can constrain current prescriptions of common-envelope (CE) evolution. Analyzing a new sample of PCEBs we deri…
V405 Peg (RBS 1955): A Nearby, Low-Luminosity Cataclysmic Binary
J. R. Thorstensen, R. Schwarz, A. D. Schwope +5
(Abridged). The cataclysmic binary V405 Peg, originally discovered as ROSAT Bright Source (RBS) 1955 (= 1RXS J230949.6+213523), shows a strong contribution from a late-type seconda…
Post common envelope binaries from SDSS. IV: SDSSJ121258.25-012310.1, a new eclipsing system
A. Nebot Gómez-Morán, A. D. Schwope, M. R. Schreiber +8
From optical photometry we show that SDSSJ121258.25-012310.1 is a new eclipsing, post common-envelope binary with an orbital period of 8.06 hours and an eclipse length of 23 minute…
