A Highly Magnetic Ultra Massive White Dwarf with a 23-minute Rotation Period
Jincheng Guo, Xiaofeng Wang, Qichun Liu +17
We present a physical characterization of TMTS J00063798+3104160 (J0006), a rapidly rotating,ultra-massive white dwarf (WD) identified in high-cadence light curves from the Tsinghu…
SN 2024iss: A Double-peaked Type IIb Supernova with Evidence of Circumstellar Interaction
Liyang Chen, Xiaofeng Wang, Qinyu Wu +54
We present optical, ultraviolet, and X-ray observations of supernova (SN) 2024iss, a Type IIb SN that shows a prominent double-peaked light curve. We modeled the first peak with a…
A post-common-envelope binary with double-peaked Balmer emission lines from TMTS
Qichun Liu, Xiaofeng Wang, Jie Lin +20
The dynamical method provides an efficient way to discover post-common-envelope binaries (PCEB) with faint white dwarfs (WDs), thanks to the development of time-domain survey proje…
Investigating the Period-Luminosity Relations of delta Scuti Stars: A Pathway to Distance and 3-D Dust Map Inference
Fangzhou Guo, Joshua S. Bloom, Xiaofeng Wang +12
While delta Scuti stars are the most numerous class of kappa-mechanism pulsators in the instability strip, the short periods and small peak-to-peak amplitudes have left them unders…
Minute-cadence Observations of the LAMOST Fields with the TMTS: VI. Absolute Physical Parameters of Contact Binaries
Qiqi Xia, Xiaofeng Wang, Kai Li +16
With the development of wide-field surveys, a large amount of data on short-period W UMa contact binaries have been obtained. Continuous and uninterrupted light curves as well as h…
