V407 Vul: a triple star system with an AM CVn detectable by gravitational wave observatories
James Munday, Antonio C. Rodriguez, Nicole Reindl +23
The AM CVn class includes mass transferring, ultra-compact double white dwarf binaries with orbital periods on the timescale of minutes. A long-standing puzzle is that none of the…
Pulsar Discoveries from the TRAPUM UHF Survey of Fermi-LAT Sources
Tinn Thongmeearkom, Colin J. Clark, Rene P. Breton +25
The Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) provides advantages for radio pulsar searches by enabling efficient target selection. We can confidently point radio telescopes to the position…
An eclipsing 8.56 minute orbital period mass-transferring binary
Emma T. Chickles, Joheen Chakraborty, Kevin B. Burdge +34
We report the discovery of ATLAS J101342.5-451656.8 (hereafter ATLAS J1013-4516), an 8.56 minute orbital period mass transferring AM Canum Venaticorum binary with mean Gaia magnitu…
Optical Study of TRAPUM Pulsars and Modelling of the Redbacks: PSR J10364353 and PSR J18036707
A. Phosrisom, R. P. Breton, C. J. Clark +12
The Transients and Pulsars with MeerKAT (TRAPUM) project discovered eight binary millisecond pulsars in its first shallow \textit{L}-band survey of unidentified \textit{Fermi} …
Analysis of optical spectroscopy and photometry of the type I X-ray bursting system UW CrB
M. R. Kennedy, P. Callanan, P. M. Garnavich +19
UW Coronae Borealis (UW CrB) is a low mass X-ray binary that shows both Type 1 X-ray and optical bursts, which typically last for 20 s. The system has a binary period of close to 2…
Discovery of the variable optical counterpart of the redback pulsar PSR J2055+1545
Marco Turchetta, Bidisha Sen, Jordan A. Simpson +5
We present the discovery of the variable optical counterpart to PSR J2055+1545, a redback millisecond pulsar, and the first radial velocity curve of its companion star. The multi-b…
