The Gaia DR1 Mass-Radius Relation for White Dwarfs
P. -E. Tremblay, N. Gentile-Fusillo, R. Raddi +8
The Gaia Data Release 1 (DR1) sample of white dwarf parallaxes is presented, including 6 directly observed degenerates and 46 white dwarfs in wide binaries. This data set is combin…
White Dwarf Mass Distribution
S. O. Kepler, Detlev Koester, Alejandra Daniela Romero +2
We present the mass distribution for all S/N > 15 pure DA white dwarfs detected in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey up to Data Release 12, fitted with Koester models for ML2/alpha=0.8,…
Another one grinds the dust: Variability of the planetary debris disc at the white dwarf SDSS J104341.53+085558.2
Christopher J. Manser, Boris T. Gaensicke, Detlev Koester +2
We report nine years of optical spectroscopy of the metal-polluted white dwarf SDSS J104341.53+085558.2, which presents morphological variations of the line profiles of the 8600 Å…
Today a Duo, But Once a Trio? The Double White Dwarf HS 22202146 May Be A Post-Blue Straggler Binary
Jeff J. Andrews, Marcel Agüeros, Warren R. Brown +4
For sufficiently wide orbital separations {\it a}, the two members of a stellar binary evolve independently. This implies that in a wide double white dwarf (DWD), the more massive…
Carbon to oxygen ratios in extrasolar planetesimals
David J. Wilson, Boris T. Gaensicke, Jay Farihi +1
Observations of small extrasolar planets with a wide range of densities imply a variety of planetary compositions and structures. Currently, the only technique to measure the bulk…
The SDSS spectroscopic catalogue of white dwarf-main sequence binaries: new identifications from DR9-12
A. Rebassa-Mansergas, J. J. Ren, S. G. Parsons +5
We present an updated version of the spectroscopic catalogue of white dwarf-main sequence (WDMS) binaries from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). We identify 939 WDMS binaries wi…
