Expanding the ultracompacts: gravitational wave-driven mass transfer in the shortest-period binaries with accretion disks
Joheen Chakraborty, Kevin B. Burdge, Saul A. Rappaport +35
We report the discovery of three ultracompact binary white dwarf systems hosting accretion disks, with orbital periods of 7.95, 8.68, and 13.15 minutes. This significantly augments…
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…
JWST detection of heavy neutron capture elements in a compact object merger
A. Levan, B. P. Gompertz, O. S. Salafia +80
The mergers of binary compact objects such as neutron stars and black holes are of central interest to several areas of astrophysics, including as the progenitors of gamma-ray burs…
Discovery of an old nova shell surrounding the cataclysmic variable V1315 Aql
D. I. Sahman, V. S. Dhillon, S. P. Littlefair +1
Following our tentative discovery of a faint shell around V1315 Aql reported in Sahman et al. (2015), we undertook deep Halpha imaging and intermediate-resolution spectroscopy of t…
Searching for nova shells around cataclysmic variables
D. I. Sahman, V. S. Dhillon, C. Knigge +1
We present the results of a search for nova shells around 101 cataclysmic variables (CVs), using Halpha images taken with the 4.2-m William Herschel Telescope (WHT) and the 2.5-m I…
