Serendipitous discovery of a dusty disc around WDJ181417.84-735459.83
E. González Egea, R. Raddi, D. Koester +8
Spectroscopic observations of white dwarfs reveal that many of them are polluted by exoplanetary material, whose bulk composition can be uniquely probed this way. We present a spec…
Runaway blue main-sequence stars at high Galactic latitudes. Target selection with Gaia and spectroscopic identification
Roberto Raddi, Andreas Irrgang, Ulrich Heber +2
Motivated by the historical identification of runaway main-sequence (MS) stars of early spectral type at high Galactic latitudes, we test the capability of Gaia at identifying new…
The white dwarf binary pathways survey V. The Gaia white dwarf plus AFGK binary sample and the identification of 23 close binaries
J. -J. Ren, R. Raddi, A. Rebassa-Mansergas +22
Close white dwarf binaries consisting of a white dwarf and an A, F, G or K type main sequence star, henceforth close WD+AFGK binaries, are ideal systems to understand the nature of…
White dwarf pollution by hydrated planetary remnants: Hydrogen and Metals in WD J204713.76-125908.9
Matthew J. Hoskin, Odette Toloza, Boris T. Gänsicke +9
WD J204713.76-125908.9 is a new addition to the small class of white dwarfs with helium-dominated photospheres that exhibit strong Balmer absorption lines and atmospheric metal pol…
Forever young white dwarfs: when stellar ageing stops
María E. Camisassa, Leandro G. Althaus, Santiago Torres +5
White dwarf stars are the most common end point of stellar evolution. Of special interest are the ultramassive white dwarfs, as they are related to type Ia Supernovae explosions, m…
white dwarfs within 40 pc I: spectroscopic observations of new candidates
P. -E. Tremblay, M. A. Hollands, N. P. Gentile Fusillo +30
We present a spectroscopic survey of 230 white dwarf candidates within 40 pc of the Sun from the William Herschel Telescope and Gran Telescopio Canarias. All candidates were select…
SDSS J124043.01+671034.68: The partially burned remnant of a low-mass white dwarf that underwent thermonuclear ignition?
Boris T. Gaensicke, Detlev Koester, Roberto Raddi +2
The white dwarf SDSS J124043.01+671034.68 (SDSS J1240+6710) was previously found to have an oxygen-dominated atmosphere with significant traces of neon, magnesium, and silicon. A p…
IGAPS: the merged IPHAS and UVEX optical surveys of theNorthern Galactic Plane
M. Monguió, R. Greimel, J. E. Drew +47
The INT Galactic Plane Survey (IGAPS) is the merger of the optical photometric surveys, IPHAS and UVEX, based on data from the Isaac Newton Telescope (INT) obtained between 2003 an…
