Discovery of ZZ Cetis in detached white dwarf plus main-sequence binaries
S. Pyrzas, B. T. Gaensicke, J. J. Hermes +12
We present the first results of a dedicated search for pulsating white dwarfs (WDs) in detached white dwarf plus main-sequence binaries. Candidate systems were selected from a cata…
The substellar companion in the eclipsing white dwarf binary SDSS J141126.20+200911.1
S. P. Littlefair, S. L. Casewell, S. G. Parsons +14
We present high time resolution SDSS- and SDSS- light curves of the primary eclipse in SDSS J141126.20+200911.1, together with time-resolved X-Shooter spectroscopy and near…
Variable Emission from a Gaseous Disc around a Metal-Polluted White Dwarf
David J Wilson, Boris Gaensicke, Detlev Koester +4
We present the discovery of strongly variable emission lines from a gaseous disc around the DA white dwarf SDSS J1617+1620, a star previously found to have an infrared excess indic…
One thousand cataclysmic variables from the Catalina Real-time Transient Survey
E. Breedt, B. T. Gaensicke, A. J. Drake +6
Over six years of operation, the Catalina Real-time Transient Survey (CRTS) has identified 1043 cataclysmic variable (CV) candidates --- the largest sample of CVs from a single sur…
SDSSJ001153.08-064739.2, a cataclysmic variable with an evolved donor in the period gap
A. Rebassa-Mansergas, S. G. Parsons, C. M. Copperwheat +5
Secondary stars in cataclysmic variables (CVs) follow a well defined period-density relation. Thus, canonical donor stars in CVs are generally low-mass stars of spectral type M. Ho…
Precise parameters for both white dwarfs in the eclipsing binary CSS 41177
M. C. P. Bours, T. R. Marsh, S. G. Parsons +6
We present ULTRACAM photometry and X-Shooter spectroscopy of the eclipsing double white dwarf binary CSS 41177, the only such system that is also a double-lined spectroscopic binar…
