ZTF J021804.16+071152.93: a dead cataclysmic variable and potential solution to the missing period bouncers
S. G. Parsons, A. J. Brown, S. L. Casewell +22
It is predicted that half or more of all cataclysmic variables (CVs) should have evolved past the period minimum and now exist as so-called "period bouncers" where a white dwarf sh…
Detection of a weak magnetic field in the Balmer emission line white dwarf WDJ1653-1001
Abbigail Elms, Stefano Bagnulo, Pier-Emmanuel Tremblay +8
The small DAHe and DAe spectral classes comprise isolated, hydrogen-dominated atmosphere white dwarfs that exhibit variable photometric flux and Balmer line emission. These mysteri…
No Period Change in Two Long-Period AM CVn Binaries
Matthew J. Green, Thomas R. Marsh, Jan van Roestel +25
Ultracompact binary systems, consisting of two compact objects in an orbit , should exhibit measurable rates of orbital period change () due t…
Photometric masses for long period CVs: the case study of CSS131106
M. Das, S. P. Littlefair, S. G. Parsons +15
We present high-speed photometry of the eclipsing cataclysmic variable CSS131106 J052412+004148. We determine the system parameters by modelling the eclipse lightcurve using the ph…
Asteroseismology of the ZZ Ceti star WD 1310+583 using the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite
Zs. Bognár, M. Uzundag, F. C. De Gerónimo +4
Aims. By analysing the light curves of the ZZ Ceti star WD 1310+583, we aim to determine its pulsational frequencies and to give constraints on the main stellar parameters using th…
EL CMi: confirmation of triaxial pulsation theory
G. Handler, S. A. Rappaport, D. Jones +10
Triaxial pulsators are a recently discovered group of oscillating stars in close binary systems that show pulsations around three axes at the same time. It has recently been theore…
