Main sequence dynamo magnetic fields emerging in the white dwarf phase
Maria Camisassa, J. R. Fuentes, Matthias R. Schreiber +4
Recent observations of volume-limited samples of magnetic white dwarfs (WD) have revealed a higher incidence of magnetism in older WDs. Specifically, these studies indicate that ma…
Primeval very low-mass stars and brown dwarfs -- VIII. The first age benchmark L subdwarf, a wide companion to a halo white dwarf
Z. H. Zhang, R. Raddi, A. J. Burgasser +12
We report the discovery of five white dwarf + ultracool dwarf systems identified as common proper motion wide binaries in the Gaia Catalogue of Nearby Stars. The discoveries includ…
A spectroscopic and kinematic survey of fast hot subdwarfs
S. Geier, U. Heber, A. Irrgang +19
Hot subdwarfs (sdO/B) are the stripped helium cores of red giants formed by binary interactions. Close hot subdwarf binaries with massive white dwarf companions have been proposed…
Kinematic origin of white dwarfs in the solar neighborhood
Ainhoa Zubiaur, Roberto Raddi, Santiago Torres
Thanks to the recent space-borne mission Gaia, there is a nearly complete sample of white dwarfs up to about 100 parsecs from the Sun, which may have very diverse origins. We aim t…
The Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST) Science White Paper
Vincenzo Mainieri, Richard I. Anderson, Jarle Brinchmann +214
The Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST) is proposed as a new facility dedicated to the efficient delivery of spectroscopic surveys. This white paper summarises the initial con…
A 500 pc volume-limited sample of hot subluminous stars I. Space density, scale height, and population properties
H. Dawson, S. Geier, U. Heber +25
We present the first volume-limited sample of spectroscopically confirmed hot subluminous stars out to 500 pc, defined using the accurate parallax measurements from the {\em Gaia}…
The white dwarf binary pathways survey -- X. Gaia orbits for known UV excess binaries
J. A. Garbutt, S. G. Parsons, O. Toloza +9
White dwarfs with a F, G or K type companion represent the last common ancestor for a plethora of exotic systems throughout the galaxy, though to this point very few of them have b…
J0526+5934: a peculiar ultra-short period double white dwarf
Alberto Rebassa-Mansergas, Mark Hollands, Steven G. Parsons +6
Ultra-short period compact binaries are important sources of gravitational waves, which include e.g. the progenitors of type Ia supernovae or the progenitors of merger episodes tha…
