KIC 8410637: a 408-day period eclipsing binary containing a pulsating red giant
S. Frandsen, H. Lehmann, S. Hekker +10
Detached eclipsing binaries (dEBs) are ideal targets for accurate measurement of masses and radii of ther component stars. If at least one of the stars has evolved off the main seq…
Initial data release of the Kepler-INT Survey
S. Greiss, D. Steeghs, B. T. Gänsicke +19
This paper describes the first data release of the Kepler-INT Survey (KIS), that covers a 116 deg2 region of the Cygnus and Lyra constellations. The Kepler field is the target of t…
Post-common-envelope binaries from SDSS. XIII: Mass dependencies of the orbital period distribution
M. Zorotovic, M. R. Schreiber, B. T. Gänsicke +11
Post-common-envelope binaries (PCEBs) consisting of a white dwarf (WD) and a main-sequence secondary star are ideal systems to constrain models of common-envelope (CE) evolution. U…
SDSS unveils a population of intrinsically faint cataclysmic variables at the minimum orbital period
B. T. Gaensicke, M. Dillon, J. Southworth +15
We discuss the properties of 137 cataclysmic variables (CVs) which are included in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) spectroscopic data base, and for which accurate orbital perio…
