The ESO supernovae type Ia progenitor survey (SPY)
R. Napiwotzki, C. A. Karl, T. Lisker +13
Close double degenerate binaries are one of the favoured progenitor channels for type Ia supernovae, but it is unclear how many suitable systems there are in the Galaxy. We report…
Binary sdB Stars with Massive Compact Companions
S. Geier, C. Karl, H. Edelmann +2
The masses of compact objects like white dwarfs, neutron stars and black holes are fundamental to astrophysics, but very difficult to measure. We present the results of an analysis…
Spectroscopic Analysis of subluminous B Stars in Binaries with compact Companions
S. Geier, C. Karl, H. Edelmann +2
The masses of compact objects like white dwarfs, neutron stars and black holes are fundamental to astrophysics, but very difficult to measure. We present the results of an analysis…
Spectroscopic Analysis of Subluminous B Stars in Binaries - Four Candidate Systems with Neutron Star/Black Hole Companions Discovered
S. Geier, C. Karl, H. Edelmann +2
The masses of compact objects like white dwarfs, neutron stars and black holes are fundamental to astrophysics, but very difficult to measure. We present the results of an analysis…
Spectroscopic Analysis of sdB Binaries from the SPY Project
C. Karl, U. Heber, R. Napiwotzki +1
In the course of our search for double degenerate binaries as potential progenitors of type Ia supernovae with the ESO VLT (ESO SN Ia Progenitor SurveY SPY) several new subdwarf B…
High resolution spectroscopy of bright subdwarf B stars - I. Radial velocity variables
H. Edelmann, U. Heber, M. Altmann +2
Radial velocity curves for 15 bright subdwarf B binary systems have been measured using high precision radial velocity measurements from high S/N optical high-resolution spectra. I…
