TIC 378898110: A Bright, Short-Period AM CVn Binary in TESS

Matthew J. Green, J. J. Hermes, Brad N. Barlow +22

AM CVn-type systems are ultracompact, helium-accreting binary systems which are evolutionarily linked to the progenitors of thermonuclear supernovae and are expected to be strong G…

An Eclipsing 47 minute Double White Dwarf Binary at 400 pc

James Munday, P. -E. Tremblay, J. J. Hermes +20

We present the discovery of the eclipsing double white dwarf (WD) binary WDJ 022558.21-692025.38 that has an orbital period of 47.19 min. Following identification with the Transiti…

JWST detection of heavy neutron capture elements in a compact object merger

A. Levan, B. P. Gompertz, O. S. Salafia +80

The mergers of binary compact objects such as neutron stars and black holes are of central interest to several areas of astrophysics, including as the progenitors of gamma-ray burs…

A 5.3-minute-period pulsing white dwarf in a binary detected from radio to X-rays

Ingrid Pelisoli, T. R. Marsh, David A. H. Buckley +19

White dwarf stars are the most common stellar fossils. When in binaries, they make up the dominant form of compact object binary within the Galaxy and can offer insight into differ…

Cataclysmic Variables from Sloan Digital Sky Survey V -- the search for period bouncers continues

K. Inight, Boris T. Gänsicke, A. Schwope +25

SDSS-V is carrying out a dedicated survey for white dwarfs, single and in binaries, and we report the analysis of the spectroscopy of cataclysmic variables (CVs) and CV candidates…

Photometric follow-up of 43 new eclipsing white dwarf plus main-sequence binaries from the ZTF survey

Alex J. Brown, Steven G. Parsons, Jan van Roestel +12

Wide-field time-domain photometric sky surveys are now finding hundreds of eclipsing white dwarf plus M dwarf binaries, a population encompassing a wealth of information and potent…
