Testing the mass-radius relation of white dwarfs in common proper motion pairs I.Hydrogen-dominated atmospheres

Roberto Raddi, Alberto Rebassa-Mansergas, Santiago Torres +6

The main goal of this work was to measure the masses and radii of white dwarfs that belong to widely separated, common proper motion binaries with non-degenerate companions. These…

The ESO supernovae type Ia progenitor survey (SPY)

R. Napiwotzki, C. A. Karl, T. Lisker +13

Close double degenerate binaries are one of the favoured progenitor channels for type Ia supernovae, but it is unclear how many suitable systems there are in the Galaxy. We report…

The first planet detected in the WTS: an inflated hot-Jupiter in a 3.35 day orbit around a late F-star [ERRATUM]

M. Cappetta, R. P. Saglia, J. L. Birkby +35

We report the discovery of WTS-1b, the first extrasolar planet found by the WFCAM Transit Survey, which began observations at the 3.8-m United Kingdom Infrared Telescope (UKIRT) in…

Irradiated brown dwarfs

S. L. Casewell, M. R. Burleigh, K. A. Lawrie +3

We have observed the post common envelope binary WD0137-349 in the near infrared , and bands and have determined that the photometry varies on the system period (116 min…

Planetary Nebulae in the VISTA Magellanic Cloud (VMC) Survey

B. Miszalski, R. Napiwotzki, M. -R. L. Cioni +4

The multi-epoch YJKs sub-arcsecond photometry of the VMC survey provides a long anticipated deep near-infrared (NIR) window into further understanding the stellar populations of th…
