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…
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…
Minute-Cadence Observations of the LAMOST Fields with the TMTS: IV -- Catalog of Cataclysmic Variables from the First 3-yr Survey
Qichun Liu, Jie Lin, Xiaofeng Wang +24
The Tsinghua University--Ma Huateng Telescopes for Survey (TMTS) started to monitor the LAMOST plates in 2020, leading to the discovery of numerous short-period eclipsing binaries,…
The first low-mass eclipsing binary within the fully convective zone from TMTS
Cheng Liu, Xiaofeng Wang, Xiaobing Zhang +17
We present a comprehensive photometric and spectroscopic analysis of the short-period (5.32 hours) and low-mass eclipsing binary TMTSJ0803 discovered by Tsinghua-Ma Huateng T…
