The White Dwarf Binary Pathways Survey IV: Three close white dwarf binaries with G-type secondary stars

M. S. Hernandez, M. R. Schreiber, S. G. Parsons +12

Constraints from surveys of post common envelope binaries (PCEBs) consisting of a white dwarf plus an M-dwarf companion have led to significant progress in our understanding of the…

Photometric long-term variations and superhump occurrence in the Classical Nova RR Pictoris

I. Fuentes-Morales, N. Vogt, C. Tappert +3

We present an analysis of all available time-resolved photometry from the literature and new light curves obtained in 2013-2014 for the old nova RR Pictoris. The well-known hump li…

Orbital periods of cataclysmic variables identified by the SDSS. IX. NTT photometry of eight eclipsing and three magnetic systems

John Southworth, C. Tappert, B. T. Gaensicke +1

We report the discovery of eclipses and the first orbital period measurements for four cataclysmic variables, plus the first orbital period measurements for one known eclipsing and…

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…

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…

Multiple emission line components in detached post-common-envelope binaries

C. Tappert, B. T. Gänsicke, A. Rebassa-Mansergas +2

Motivated by the recent discovery of an Halpha emission line component originating close to the white dwarf primary in the post-common-envelope binary (PCEB) LTT 560, we have under…

Activity on the M star of QS Vir

T. Ribeiro, S. Kafka, R. Baptista +1

We report analysis of VRIJH photometry, and phase-resolved optical spectroscopy of the eclipsing DA white dwarf plus dMe dwarf binary QS Vir. Modeling of the photometric data yield…
