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…
The DBL Survey II: towards a mass-period distribution of double white dwarf binaries
James Munday, Ingrid Pelisoli, Pier-Emmanuel Tremblay +14
Double white dwarf binaries are an important remnant of binary evolution as they are possible type Ia supernova progenitors and strong sources of gravitational waves in the low-fre…
Advancing accuracy in age determinations of old-disk stars using an oscillating red giant in an eclipsing binary
J. S. Thomsen, A. Miglio, K. Brogaard +26
The study of resonant oscillation modes in low-mass red giant branch stars enables their ages to be inferred with exceptional (10%) precision, unlocking the possibility to re…
The CARMENES search for exoplanets around M dwarfs. Occurrence rates of Earth-like planets around very low-mass stars
A. Kaminski, S. Sabotta, J. Kemmer +24
Aims: Previous estimates of planet occurrence rates in the CARMENES survey indicated increased numbers of planets on short orbits for M dwarfs with masses below 0.34\,M. He…
KOBE-1: The first planetary system from the KOBE survey. Two planets likely residing in the sub-Neptune mass regime around a late K-dwarf
O. Balsalobre-Ruza, J. Lillo-Box, A. M. Silva +35
K-dwarf stars are promising targets in the exploration of potentially habitable planets. Their properties, falling between G and M dwarfs, provide an optimal trade-off between the…
