Wind Roche-lobe Overflow in Low-Mass Binaries: Exploring the Origin of Rapidly Rotating Blue Lurkers
Meng Sun, Sasha Levina, Seth Gossage +4
Wind Roche-Lobe Overflow (WRLOF) is a mass-transfer mechanism proposed by Mohamed and Podsiadlowski (2007) for stellar binaries wherein the wind acceleration zone of the donor star…
An Eclipsing Binary Comprising Two Active Red Stragglers of Identical Mass and Synchronized Rotation: A Post-Mass-Transfer System or Just Born That Way?
Keivan G. Stassun, Guillermo Torres, Marina Kounkel +7
We report the discovery of 2M0056-08 as an equal-mass eclipsing binary (EB), comprising two red straggler stars (RSSs) with an orbital period of 33.9 d. Both stars have masses of 1…
WIYN Open Cluster Study. LXXXVII. HST Ultraviolet Detection of Hot White Dwarf Companions to Blue Lurkers in M67
Andrew C. Nine, Robert D. Mathieu, Natalie M. Gosnell +1
We present the results of our Hubble Space Telescope far-ultraviolet survey of the blue lurkers (BLs) in M67. We find evidence for two white dwarf companions among the BLs that are…
