Spectroscopic Characterization of WD J000801.25-350450 and its Two Co-Moving Companions
Peter A. JaÅowiczor, Thomas P. Bickle, J. Davy Kirkpatrick +18
We present new spectroscopic data for Gaia DR3 2309499817384726016 (WD0008-350A) and its two wide, co-moving, low-mass companions. We confirm the white dwarf is a hydrogen-rich DA,…
Multiperiodic pulsations of the unique DAQ white dwarf J0551+4135: insights into a merger remnant
Murat Uzundag, Mukremin Kilic, Francisco C. De Gerónimo +7
2MASS J05513444+4135297 (herafter J0551+4135) is the only pulsating DAQ white dwarf known with a carbon and hydrogen atmosphere. Its unusual atmospheric composition and kinematics…
The ZZ Ceti Instability Strip for The Most Massive White Dwarf Pulsators
Gracyn Jewett, Mukremin Kilic, Adam Moss +10
We present time-series photometry of 31 massive DA white dwarfs with within the ZZ Ceti instability strip from the Montreal White Dwarf Database 100 pc sampl…
A magnitude-limited catalogue of unresolved white dwarf-main sequence binaries from Gaia DR3
Alberto Rebassa-Mansergas, Enrique Solano, Alex J. Brown +6
Binary stars containing a white dwarf and a main-sequence star, WDMS binaries, can be used to study a wide range of aspects of stellar astrophysics. We build a magnitude-limited sa…
Reconstructing post-common envelope white dwarf+main sequence binary histories through inverse population synthesis techniques
Santiago Torres, Marta Gili, Alberto Rebassa-Mansergas +3
The evolution of binary stellar systems involves a wide range of physical processes, many of which are not yet well understood. We aim to build a general-purpose algorithm based on…
A population synthesis study of the Gaia 100 pc unresolved white dwarf-main sequence binary population
Alejandro Santos-GarcÃa, Santiago Torres, Alberto Rebassa-Mansergas +1
Binary stars consisting of a white dwarf and a main sequence star (WDMS) are valuable for studying key astrophysical questions. However, observational biases strongly affect the kn…
