Circular Polarimetry of Suspect Wind-accreting Magnetic pre-Polars
Pasi Hakala, Steven G. Parsons, Thomas R. Marsh +4
We present results from a circular polarimetric survey of candidate detached magnetic white dwarf - M dwarf binaries obtained using the Nordic Optical Telescope, La Palma. We obtai…
Magnetic dynamos in white dwarfs -III: explaining the occurrence of strong magnetic fields in close double white dwarfs
Matthias. R. Schreiber, Diogo Belloni, Monica Zorotovic +3
The origin of strong magnetic fields in white dwarfs has been a puzzle for decades. Recently, a dynamo mechanism operating in rapidly rotating and crystallizing white dwarfs has be…
Characterising eclipsing white dwarf M dwarf binaries from multi-band eclipse photometry
Alex J. Brown, Steven G. Parsons, Stuart P. Littlefair +10
With the prevalence of wide-field, time-domain photometric sky surveys, the number of eclipsing white dwarf systems being discovered is increasing dramatically. An efficient method…
The White Dwarf Binary Pathways Survey VII: Evidence for a bi-modal distribution of post mass transfer systems?
F. Lagos, M. R. Schreiber, S. G. Parsons +5
Binary systems consisting of a white dwarf and a main-sequence companion with orbital periods up to d are often thought to be formed through common envelope evolution…
The White Dwarf Binary Pathways Survey VI: two close post common envelope binaries with TESS light curves
M. S. Hernandez, M. R. Schreiber, S. G. Parsons +9
Establishing a large sample of post common envelope binaries (PCEBs) that consist of a white dwarf plus an intermediate mass companion star of spectral type AFGK, offers the potent…
To be or not to be a black hole: detailed binary population models as a sanity check
H. F. Stevance, S. G. Parsons, J. J. Eldridge
We use the self-consistent stellar populations in the Binary Population A Spectral Synthesis (BPASS) models to assess whether NGC1850-BH1 is a black hole. Using search criteria bas…
