The white dwarf binary pathways survey - XI. The Gaia-GALEX UV Excess Sample for systems within 350 pc
James A. Garbutt, S. G. Parsons, N. Gentile Fusillo +9
White dwarfs (WDs) with F, G or K type binary companions are the last common ancestor to a zoo of exotic phenomena. Finding a clean sample of such systems is difficult, as WDs in s…
ZTF J021804.16+071152.93: a dead cataclysmic variable and potential solution to the missing period bouncers
S. G. Parsons, A. J. Brown, S. L. Casewell +22
It is predicted that half or more of all cataclysmic variables (CVs) should have evolved past the period minimum and now exist as so-called "period bouncers" where a white dwarf sh…
Extreme mass loss during common envelope evolution: the origin of the double low-mass white dwarf system J2102--4145
Leandro G. Althaus, Alejandro H. Corsico, Monica Zorotovic +3
Eclipsing close double white dwarf (WD) systems provide a unique opportunity to directly constrain hydrogen-envelope retention and test common-envelope (CE) evolution in low-mass s…
Volume-limited sample of low-mass red giant stars, the progenitors of hot subdwarf stars II. Sample validation
Diego Benitez-Palacios, Murat Uzundag, Maja Vučković +6
We investigate the progenitors of long-period hot subdwarf B (sdB) binaries, which form when low-mass red giant branch (RGB) stars lose their envelopes through stable Roche lobe ov…
Two almost planetary mass survivors of common envelope evolution
S. G. Parsons, A. J. Brown, S. L. Casewell +19
White dwarfs are often found in close binaries with stellar or even substellar companions. It is generally thought that these compact binaries form via common envelope evolution, t…
New orbital periods of high-inclination dwarf novae based on Gaia Alerts photometry
Catalina Sáez-Carvajal, Nikolaus Vogt, Mónica Zorotovic +8
The orbital period of a cataclysmic variable stands as a crucial parameter for investigating the structure and physics of these binary systems, as well as understanding their evolu…
