PHL 1445: An eclipsing cataclysmic variable with a substellar donor near the period minimum
M. J. McAllister, S. P. Littlefair, I. Baraffe +14
We present high-speed, three-colour photometry of the eclipsing dwarf nova PHL 1445, which, with an orbital period of 76.3 min, lies just below the period minimum of ~82 min for ca…
Fourteen new eclipsing white dwarf plus main-sequence binaries from the SDSS and Catalina surveys
S. G. Parsons, C. Agurto-Gangas, B. T. Gaensicke +13
We report on the search for new eclipsing white dwarf plus main-sequence (WDMS) binaries in the light curves of the Catalina surveys. We use a colour selected list of almost 2000 c…
The First Science Results from SPHERE: Disproving the Predicted Brown Dwarf around V471 Tau
A. Hardy, M. R. Schreiber, S. G. Parsons +10
Variations of eclipse arrival times have recently been detected in several post common envelope binaries consisting of a white dwarf and a main sequence companion star. The general…
Binary population synthesis and SNIa rates
S. Toonen, G. Nelemans, M. Bours +1
Despite the significance of type Ia supernovae (SNeIa) in many fields in astrophysics, SNeIa lack a theoretical explanation. We investigate the potential contribution to the SNeIa…
Progenitors of Supernovae Type Ia
S. Toonen, G. Nelemans, M. Bours +4
Despite the significance of Type Ia supernovae (SNeIa) in many fields in astrophysics, SNeIa lack a theoretical explanation. The standard scenarios involve thermonuclear explosions…
