A survey of ultra-compact high-state AM CVn binaries with ZTF and Gaia: New discoveries and observational constraints on Galactic space density
Ilkham Galiullin, Antonio C. Rodriguez, Kareem El-Badry +9
Ultra-compact AM CVn binaries in the high-state of stable mass transfer () are expected to be among the loudest persistent sources for upcomin…
Cataclysmic variables from Gaia XP spectra: The Gaia emission-line magnitude (GEM) diagram
Ilkham Galiullin, Vladislav Dodon, Antonio C. Rodriguez +1
Gaia DR3 opens a new window for the census of Galactic stellar populations in all-sky surveys, specifically for identifying cataclysmic variables (CVs). While the majority of CVs a…
Multiwavelength Characterization of a New Magnetic Cataclysmic Variable 2CXO J050740.7-091337
Ilkham Galiullin, Vladislav Dodon, Antonio C. Rodriguez +2
We report the discovery and characterization of a new cataclysmic variable (CV), 2CXO J050740.7-091337 (hereafter 2CXO J0507), identified using the X-ray main sequence through a cr…
Optical Spectroscopy of the Most Compact Accreting Binary Harboring a Magnetic White Dwarf and a Hydrogen-rich Donor
Ilkham Galiullin, Antonio C. Rodriguez, Kareem El-Badry +4
Accreting white dwarfs in close binary systems, commonly known as cataclysmic variables (CVs), with orbital periods below the canonical period minimum ( 80 minutes) are ra…
A Link Between White Dwarf Pulsars and Polars: Multiwavelength Observations of the 9.36-Minute Period Variable Gaia22ayj
Antonio C. Rodriguez, Kareem El-Badry, Pasi Hakala +30
White dwarfs (WDs) are the most abundant compact objects, and recent surveys have suggested that over a third of WDs in accreting binaries host a strong (B 1 MG) magnetic…
