The Next Generation Transit Survey - Prototyping Phase
James McCormac, Don Pollacco, Peter Wheatley +16
We present the prototype telescope for the Next Generation Transit Survey, which was built in the UK in 2008/09 and tested on La Palma in the Canary Islands in 2010. The goals for…
Multiwaveband photometry of the irradiated brown dwarf WD0137-349B
S. L. Casewell, K. A. Lawrie, P. F. L. Maxted +7
WD0137-349 is a white dwarf-brown dwarf binary system in a 116 minute orbit. We present radial velocity observations and multiwaveband photometry from V, R and I in the optical, to…
White paper: Gaia and the end states of stellar evolution
M. A Barstow, S. L. Casewell, S. Catalan +18
This is the product of a Gaia GREAT workshop on "Gaia and the end states of stellar evolution" held at the University of Leicester in April 2011.
Component masses of young, wide, non-magnetic white dwarf binaries in the SDSS DR7
R. B. Baxter, P. D. Dobbie, Q. A. Parker +7
We present a spectroscopic component analysis of 18 candidate young, wide, non-magnetic, double-degenerate binaries identified from a search of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Re…
Irradiated brown dwarfs
S. L. Casewell, M. R. Burleigh, K. A. Lawrie +3
We have observed the post common envelope binary WD0137-349 in the near infrared , and bands and have determined that the photometry varies on the system period (116 min…
SDSS J000555.90-100213.5: a hot, magnetic carbon-atmosphere WD rotating with a 2.1 day period
K. A. Lawrie, M. R. Burleigh, P. Dufour +1
A surprisingly large fraction (70%) of hot, carbon dominated atmosphere (DQ) white dwarfs are magnetic and/or photometrically variable on short timescales up to ~1000 s. However, h…
