Post-common-envelope binaries from SDSS. XIII: Mass dependencies of the orbital period distribution
M. Zorotovic, M. R. Schreiber, B. T. Gänsicke +11
Post-common-envelope binaries (PCEBs) consisting of a white dwarf (WD) and a main-sequence secondary star are ideal systems to constrain models of common-envelope (CE) evolution. U…
Post common envelope binaries from SDSS. XII: The orbital period distribution
A. Nebot Gómez-Morán, B. T. Gänsicke, M. R. Schreiber +18
The complexity of the common envelope phase and of magnetic stellar wind braking currently limits our understanding of close binary evolution. Because of their intrinsically simple…
Post Common Envelope Binaries from SDSS. XV: Accurate stellar parameters for a cool 0.4-solar mass white dwarf and a 0.16-solar mass M-dwarf in a 3 hour eclipsing binary
S. Pyrzas, B. T. Gaensicke, S. Brady +9
We identify SDSSJ121010.1+334722.9 as an eclipsing post-common-envelope binary, with an orbital period of P ~ 3 hrs, containing a very cool, low-mass, DAZ white dwarf and a low-mas…
Post-common-envelope binaries from SDSS. XI: The white dwarf mass distributions of CVs and pre-CVs
M. Zorotovic, M. R. Schreiber, B. T. Gänsicke
We have known for a long time that many of the measured white dwarf (WD) masses in cataclysmic variables (CVs) significantly exceed the mean mass of single WDs. This was thought to…
