A spectroscopic and kinematic survey of fast hot subdwarfs

S. Geier, U. Heber, A. Irrgang +19

Hot subdwarfs (sdO/B) are the stripped helium cores of red giants formed by binary interactions. Close hot subdwarf binaries with massive white dwarf companions have been proposed…

A quantitative NLTE analysis of visual and ultraviolet spectra of four helium-rich subdwarf O stars

Markus Schindewolf, Peter Nemeth, Ulrich Heber +4

Hot subdwarfs represent a poorly understood late phase of stellar evolution. While binary evolution plays an important role for B-subdwarfs (sdB), the origin of the He dominated O-…

Close binary progenitors and ejected companions of thermonuclear supernovae

S. Geier, T. Kupfer, U. Heber +8

Hot subdwarf stars (sdO/Bs) are evolved core helium-burning stars with very thin hydrogen envelopes, which can be formed by common envelope ejection. Close sdB binaries with massiv…

A new HW Vir binary from the Palomar Transient Factory: PTF1 J072455.75+125300.3 - An eclipsing subdwarf B binary with a M-star companion

M. Schindewolf, D. Levitan, U. Heber +4

We report the discovery of an eclipsing binary -- PTF1 J072456125301-- composed of a subdwarf B (sdB) star () with a faint companion. Subdwarf B stars are core helium…

The catalogue of radial velocity variable hot subluminous stars from the MUCHFUSS project

S. Geier, T. Kupfer, U. Heber +13

The project Massive Unseen Companions to Hot Faint Underluminous Stars from SDSS (MUCHFUSS) aims to find sdBs with compact companions like massive white dwarfs, neutron stars or bl…
