The ELM Survey South. II. Two dozen new low mass white dwarf binaries

Alekzander Kosakowski, Warren R. Brown, Mukremin Kilic +5

We present the results from our ongoing spectroscopic survey targeting low mass white dwarf binaries, focusing on the southern sky. We used a Gaia DR2 and eDR3 based selection and…

The ELM Survey South. I. An Effective Search for Extremely Low Mass White Dwarfs

Alekzander Kosakowski, Mukremin Kilic, Warren R. Brown +1

We begin the search for extremely-low mass (, ELM) white dwarfs (WDs) in the southern sky based on photometry from the VST ATLAS and SkyMapper surveys. We use a…

The ELM Survey. VIII. 98 Double White Dwarf Binaries

Warren R. Brown, Mukremin Kilic, Alekzander Kosakowski +7

We present the final sample of 98 detached double white dwarf (WD) binaries found in the Extremely Low Mass (ELM) Survey, a spectroscopic survey targeting <0.3 Msun He-core WDs com…

GALEX Absolute Calibration and Extinction Coefficients Based on White Dwarfs

Renae E. Wall, Mukremin Kilic, P. Bergeron +3

We use 1837 DA white dwarfs with high signal to noise ratio spectra and Gaia parallaxes to verify the absolute calibration and extinction coefficients for the Galaxy Evolution Expl…

The DECam Minute Cadence Survey II: 49 Variables but No Planetary Transits of a White Dwarf

Kyra Dame, Claudia Belardi, Mukremin Kilic +4

We present minute cadence photometry of 31732 point sources observed in one 3 DECam pointing centred at RA = 09:03:02 and Dec = -04:35:00 over eight consecutive half-nigh…

Ensemble Properties of the White Dwarf Population of the Old, Solar Metallicity Open Star Cluster Messier 67

Kurtis A. Williams, Paul A. Canton, A. Bellini +4

White dwarfs are excellent forensic tools for studying end-of-life issues surrounding low- and intermediate-mass stars, and the old, solar-metallicity open star cluster Messier 67…
