XGAPS: a sub-arcsecond cross-match of Galactic Plane Surveys
S. Scaringi, M. Monguio, C. Knigge +5
We present a sub-arcsecond cross-match of Gaia Data Release 3 (DR3) against the INT Galactic Plane Surveys (IGAPS) and the United Kingdom Infrared Deep Sky Survey (UKIDSS). The res…
Where are the magnetar binary companions? Candidates from a comparison with binary population synthesis predictions
A. A. Chrimes, A. J. Levan, A. S. Fruchter +7
It is well established that magnetars are neutron stars with extreme magnetic fields and young ages, but the evolutionary pathways to their creation are still uncertain. Since most…
Triggering micronovae through magnetically confined accretion flows in accreting white dwarfs
S. Scaringi, P. J. Groot, C. Knigge +5
Rapid bursts at optical wavelengths have been reported for several accreting white dwarfs, where the optical luminosity can increase by up to a factor 30 in less than an hour fadin…
Localised thermonuclear bursts from accreting magnetic white dwarfs
S. Scaringi, P. J. Groot, C. Knigge +16
Nova explosions are caused by global thermonuclear runaways triggered in the surface layers of accreting white dwarfs. It has been predicted that localised thermonuclear bursts on…
The OmegaWhite Survey for Short-Period Variable Stars VII: High amplitude, short period blue variables
G. Ramsay, P. A. Woudt, T. Kupfer +11
Blue Large Amplitude Pulsators (BLAPs) are a relatively new class of blue variable stars showing periodic variations in their light curves with periods shorter than a few tens of m…
New candidates for magnetar counterparts from a deep search with the Hubble Space Telescope
A. A. Chrimes, A. J. Levan, A. S. Fruchter +5
We report the discovery of six new magnetar counterpart candidates from deep near-infrared Hubble Space Telescope imaging. The new candidates are among a sample of nineteen magneta…
