A precision study of two eclipsing white dwarf plus M dwarf binaries
S. G. Parsons, T. R. Marsh, B. T. Gänsicke +16
We use a combination of X-shooter spectroscopy, ULTRACAM high-speed photometry and SOFI near-infrared photometry to measure the masses and radii of both components of the eclipsing…
VVV DR1: The First Data Release of the Milky Way Bulge and Southern Plane from the Near-Infrared ESO Public Survey VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea
R. K. Saito, M. Hempel, D. Minniti +107
The ESO Public Survey VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) started in 2010. VVV targets 562 sq. deg in the Galactic bulge and an adjacent plane region and is expected to run for…
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 - XIV. The DR7 white dwarf-main sequence binary catalogue
A. Rebassa-Mansergas, A. Nebot Gomez-Moran, M. R. Schreiber +4
We present an updated version of the spectroscopic white dwarf-main sequence (WDMS) binary catalogue from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). 395 new systems are serendipitous dis…
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…
Cataclysmic Variables from SDSS. VIII. The Final Year (2007-2008)
Paula Szkody, Scott F. Anderson, Keira Brooks +11
This paper completes the series of cataclysmic variables (CVs) identified from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey I/II. The coordinates, magnitudes and spectra of 33 CVs are presented. A…
