K-dwarf starspot hunters: how to directly characterize spot and faculae properties with UV-IR panchromatic transit spectra

Joanna K. Barstow, Caitlyn Cullen, Yvonne Unruh +7

Transmission spectroscopy of exoplanets provides an important window into their atmospheric composition, structure and dynamics, especially in the JWST era. As the quality of the o…

Gaia18aen: First symbiotic star discovered by Gaia

J. Merc, J. Mikołajewska, M. Gromadzki +20

Besides the astrometric mission of the Gaia satellite, its repeated and high-precision measurements serve also as an all-sky photometric transient survey. The sudden brightenings o…

A comprehensive population synthesis study of post-common envelope binaries

P. J. Davis, U. Kolb, B. Willems

We apply population synthesis techniques to calculate the present day population of post-common envelope binaries (PCEBs) for a range of theoretical models describing the common en…

Eclipsing binaries in extrasolar planet transit surveys: the case of SuperWASP

B. Willems, U. Kolb, S. Justham

Using a comprehensive binary population synthesis scheme, we investigate the statistical properties of a sample of eclipsing binaries that is detectable by an idealised extrasolar…

A Potential Supernova Remnant/X-ray Binary Association in M31

Benjamin F. Williams, Robin Barnard, Michael R. Garcia +3

The well-studied X-ray/Optical/Radio supernova remnant DDB 1-15 (CXOM31 J004327.8+411829; r3-63) in M31 has been investigated with archival XMM-Newton and Chandra observations. The…

Detached white dwarf main-sequence star binaries

B. Willems, U. Kolb

We considered the formation of detached white dwarf main-sequence star (WDMS) binaries through seven evolutionary channels subdivided according to the evolutionary process that giv…
