The white dwarf binary pathways survey - XI. The Gaia-GALEX UV Excess Sample for systems within 350 pc

James A. Garbutt, S. G. Parsons, N. Gentile Fusillo +9

White dwarfs (WDs) with F, G or K type binary companions are the last common ancestor to a zoo of exotic phenomena. Finding a clean sample of such systems is difficult, as WDs in s…

The white dwarf binary pathways survey -- X. Gaia orbits for known UV excess binaries

J. A. Garbutt, S. G. Parsons, O. Toloza +9

White dwarfs with a F, G or K type companion represent the last common ancestor for a plethora of exotic systems throughout the galaxy, though to this point very few of them have b…

The White Dwarf Binary Pathways Survey VI: two close post common envelope binaries with TESS light curves

M. S. Hernandez, M. R. Schreiber, S. G. Parsons +9

Establishing a large sample of post common envelope binaries (PCEBs) that consist of a white dwarf plus an intermediate mass companion star of spectral type AFGK, offers the potent…

Kinematic properties of white dwarfs. Galactic orbital parameters and age-velocity dispersion relation

R. Raddi, S. Torres, A. Rebassa-Mansergas +9

We present the first detailed 3D kinematic analysis of a sample of 3133 white dwarfs that use Gaia astrometry plus radial velocities, which were measured either by Gaia or by groun…

The intermediate polar cataclysmic variable GK Persei 120 years after the nova explosion: a first dynamical mass study

A. Álvarez-Hernández, M. A. P. Torres, P. Rodríguez-Gil +15

We present a complete dynamical study of the intermediate polar and dwarf nova cataclysmic variable GK Per (Nova Persei 1901) based on a multi-site optical spectroscopy and -ban…

The white dwarf binary pathways survey V. The Gaia white dwarf plus AFGK binary sample and the identification of 23 close binaries

J. -J. Ren, R. Raddi, A. Rebassa-Mansergas +22

Close white dwarf binaries consisting of a white dwarf and an A, F, G or K type main sequence star, henceforth close WD+AFGK binaries, are ideal systems to understand the nature of…

white dwarfs within 40 pc I: spectroscopic observations of new candidates

P. -E. Tremblay, M. A. Hollands, N. P. Gentile Fusillo +30

We present a spectroscopic survey of 230 white dwarf candidates within 40 pc of the Sun from the William Herschel Telescope and Gran Telescopio Canarias. All candidates were select…

Metallicity distributions of mono-age stellar populations of the Galactic disc from the LAMOST Galactic spectroscopic surveys

C. Wang, X. -W. Liu, M. -S. Xiang +6

We have investigated the metallicity distributions of mono-age stellar populations across the disc of \,kpc and \,kpc using samples select…

Mapping the three-dimensional dust extinction toward the supernova remnant S147 - the S147 dust cloud

B. -Q. Chen, X. -W. Liu, J. -J. Ren +7

We present a three dimensional (3D) extinction analysis in the region toward the supernova remnant (SNR) S147 (G180.0-1.7) using multi-band photometric data from the Xuyi Schmidt T…
