A quantitative in-depth analysis of the prototype sdB+BD system SDSS J08205+0008 revisited in the Gaia era
V. Schaffenroth, S. L. Casewell, D. Schneider +8
Subdwarf B stars are core-helium burning stars located on the extreme horizontal branch. Extensive mass loss on the red giant branch is necessary to form them. It has been proposed…
Spectroscopy of the helium-rich binary ES Ceti reveals accretion via a disc and evidence for eclipse
K. Bakowska, T. R. Marsh, D. Steeghs +2
Amongst the hydrogen-deficient accreting binaries known as the "AM~CVn stars" are three systems with the shortest known orbital periods: HM Cnc (321 s), V407 Vul (569 s) and ES Cet…
Processing GOTO data with the Rubin Observatory LSST Science Pipelines I : Production of coadded frames
J. R. Mullaney, L. Makrygianni, V. Dhillon +44
The past few decades have seen the burgeoning of wide field, high cadence surveys, the most formidable of which will be the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) to be conducted b…
An 8.8 minute orbital period eclipsing detached double white dwarf binary
Kevin B. Burdge, Michael W. Coughlin, Jim Fuller +13
We report the discovery of ZTF J2243+5242, an eclipsing double white dwarf binary with an orbital period of just minutes, the second known eclipsing binary with an orbital pe…
EVR-CB-004: An Inflated Hot Subdwarf O star + Unseen WD Companion in a Compact Binary Discovered with the Evryscope
Jeffrey K. Ratzloff, Thomas Kupfer, Brad N. Barlow +10
We present the discovery of EVR-CB-004, a close binary with a remnant stellar core and an unseen white dwarf companion. The analysis in this work reveals the primary is potentially…
A systematic search of Zwicky Transient Facility data for ultracompact binary LISA-detectable gravitational-wave sources
Kevin B. Burdge, Thomas A. Prince, Jim Fuller +31
Using photometry collected with the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF), we are conducting an ongoing survey for binary systems with short orbital periods ( with…
