SRGeJ045359.9+622444: A 55-min Period Eclipsing AM CVn Discovered from a Joint SRG/eROSITA + ZTF Search
Antonio C. Rodriguez, Ilkham Galiullin, Marat Gilfanov +24
AM CVn systems are ultra-compact binaries where a white dwarf accretes from a helium-rich degenerate or semi-degenerate donor. Some AM CVn systems will be among the loudest sources…
Long-rising Type II Supernovae in the Zwicky Transient Facility Census of the Local Universe
Tawny Sit, Mansi M. Kasliwal, Anastasios Tzanidakis +25
SN 1987A was an unusual hydrogen-rich core-collapse supernova originating from a blue supergiant star. Similar blue supergiant explosions remain a small family of events, and are b…
SN 2020udy: a SN Iax with strict limits on interaction consistent with a helium-star companion
Kate Maguire, Mark R. Magee, Giorgos Leloudas +24
Early observations of transient explosions can provide vital clues to their progenitor origins. In this paper we present the nearby Type Iax (02cx-like) supernova (SN), SN 2020udy…
Orbital decay in an accreting and eclipsing 13.7 minute orbital period binary with a luminous donor
Kevin B. Burdge, Kareem El-Badry, Saul Rappaport +24
We report the discovery of ZTF J0127+5258, a compact mass-transferring binary with an orbital period of 13.7 minutes. The system contains a white dwarf accretor, which likely origi…
The prevalence and influence of circumstellar material around hydrogen-rich supernova progenitors
Rachel J. Bruch, Avishay Gal-Yam, Ofer Yaron +44
Narrow transient emission lines (flash-ionization features) in early supernova (SN) spectra trace the presence of circumstellar material (CSM) around the massive progenitor stars o…
A dense star in a 51-minute orbital period eclipsing binary
Kevin B. Burdge, Kareem El-Badry, Thomas R. Marsh +24
In over a thousand known cataclysmic variables (CVs), where a white dwarf is accreting from a hydrogen-rich star, only a dozen have orbital periods below 75 minutes. One way to ach…
