Two new ZZ Ceti pulsators from the HS and HE surveys

R. Silvotti, B. Voss, I. Bruni +4

We report the detection of nonradial g-mode oscillations in the DA white dwarfs HS1039+4112 (B=15.9) and HE1429-0343 (B=15.8) from time-series photometry made at the Loiano 1.5 m t…

Kilo-gauss Magnetic Fields in three DA White Dwarfs

R. Aznar Cuadrado, S. Jordan, R. Napiwotzki +3

We have detected longitudinal magnetic fields between 2 and 4kG in three normal DA white dwarfs (WD0446-790, WD1105-048, WD2359434) out of a sample of 12 by using optical spectr…

Subluminous O stars from the ESO Supernova Progenitor Survey - Observation versus Theory

A. Stroeer, U. Heber, T. Lisker +2

The ESO Supernova Progenitor Survey (SPY) has identified 58 (mostly helium-rich) subluminous O stars. We use the Balmer line strength to distinguish sdO from He-sdO (no Balmer line…

Time-resolved observations of the short period CV SDSS J123813.73-033933

S. V. Zharikov, G. H. Tovmassian, V. Neustroev +2

We present simultaneous spectral and photometric observations of SDSS J123813.73-033933.0. From Ha radial velocity measurements we determined the orbital period of the system to be…

Identification of a DO white dwarf and a PG1159 star in the ESO SN Ia progenitor survey (SPY)

K. Werner, T. Rauch, R. Napiwotzki +3

We present high-resolution VLT spectra of a new helium-rich DO white dwarf and a new PG1159 star, which we identified in the ESO SPY survey. We performed NLTE model atmosphere anal…

Double degenerates and progenitors of supernovae type Ia

R. Napiwotzki, L. Yungelson, G. Nelemans +12

We report on systematic radial velocity surveys for white dwarf - white dwarf binaries (double degenerates - DDs) including SPY (ESO Supernovae Ia progenitor survey) recently carri…
