Evidence for neutron capture in heavy-metal hot subdwarfs: Far-UV spectroscopy of EC22536-5304 and LSIV-14 116
M. Dorsch, C. S. Jeffery, J. Deprince +8
Most hot subdwarfs (sdO/B) are low-mass core-helium-burning stars formed through binary interaction. A subgroup of intermediate He-rich sdOBs shows extreme heavy-metal (Z>30) enric…

TESS Observations of Stochastic Low-frequency Variability in Extreme Helium Stars
Courtney L. Crawford, C. Simon Jeffery, May G. Pedersen +4
Extreme helium stars (EHes) are low-mass hydrogen-deficient stars thought to be the products of double white dwarf mergers. Despite prolonged ground-based observations, there is no…

A 500 pc volume-limited sample of hot subluminous stars I. Space density, scale height, and population properties
H. Dawson, S. Geier, U. Heber +25
We present the first volume-limited sample of spectroscopically confirmed hot subluminous stars out to 500 pc, defined using the accurate parallax measurements from the {\em Gaia}…
