A Surprising Periodicity Detected During a Super-outburst of V844 Herculis by TESS

A. Greiveldinger, P. Garnavich, C. Littlefield +6

We identify a previously undetected periodicity at a frequency of 49.080.01 d (period of 29.340.01 minutes) during a super-outburst of V844 Her observed by TESS. V…

An Eclipsing 47 minute Double White Dwarf Binary at 400 pc

James Munday, P. -E. Tremblay, J. J. Hermes +20

We present the discovery of the eclipsing double white dwarf (WD) binary WDJ 022558.21-692025.38 that has an orbital period of 47.19 min. Following identification with the Transiti…

JWST detection of heavy neutron capture elements in a compact object merger

A. Levan, B. P. Gompertz, O. S. Salafia +80

The mergers of binary compact objects such as neutron stars and black holes are of central interest to several areas of astrophysics, including as the progenitors of gamma-ray burs…

Neutron star mass estimates from gamma-ray eclipses in spider millisecond pulsar binaries

C. J. Clark, M. Kerr, E. D. Barr +26

Reliable neutron star mass measurements are key to determining the equation-of-state of cold nuclear matter, but these are rare. "Black Widows" and "Redbacks" are compact binaries…

A black widow population dissection through HiPERCAM multi-band light curve modelling

D. Mata Sánchez, M. R. Kennedy, C. J. Clark +7

Black widows are extreme millisecond pulsar binaries where the pulsar wind ablates their low-mass companion stars. Their optical light curves vary periodically due to the high irra…

A rapid optical and X-ray timing study of the neutron star X-ray binary Swift J1858.6-0814

T. Shahbaz, J. A. Paice, K. M. Rajwade +8

We present a rapid timing analysis of optical (HiPERCAM and ULTRACAM) and X-ray (NICER) observations of the X-ray transient Swift J1858.6-0814 during 2018 and 2019. The optical lig…
