The shortest period field contact binary ⋆
Photometric and spectroscopic results for the contact binary GSC 01387–00475 (ASAS 083128+1953.1) are presented. The existence of this binary with the orbital period of P = 0.2178 d strengthens the argument that the cut-off of the period distribution for contact binaries until now defined by CC Comae – is very sharp. The only case of a still shorter period is known in a globular cluster where m...
متن کاملSDSS J0926+3624: the shortest period eclipsing binary star
With orbital periods of the order of tens of minutes or less, the AM Canum Venaticorum stars are ultracompact, hydrogen-deficient binaries with the shortest periods of any binary subclass, and are expected to be among the strongest gravitational wave sources in the sky. To date, the only known eclipsing source of this type is the P = 28 min binary SDSS J0926+3624. We present multiband, high tim...
متن کاملAstronomy and Astrophysics Rx J0537.7–7034: the Shortest-period Supersoft X-ray Source ⋆
We present new photometric and spectro-scopic observations of the transient supersoft X-ray source RX J0537.7–7034 and find a periodicity of approximately 3.5 hrs. This establishes RX J0537.7–7034 as the supersoft X-ray source with the shortest orbital period. We furthermore derive an inclination of the binary system of 45 • < ∼ i < ∼ 70 • , and the masses of the two binary components: M accret...
متن کاملNlte Analysis of the Ultra-short Period White-dwarf Binary Rx J0806.3+1527
RX J0806.3+1527 is suspected to be a double-degenerate white dwarf binary. We present first results of our NLTE analysis of its optical spectrum. The VLT/FORS1 data show a composite spectrum consisting of a blue continuum and superimposed emission lines of the He ii Pickering series and, possibly, the H Balmer series. Our models are based on hot white dwarf atmospheres and include illumination ...
متن کاملThe new long-period AM Herculis system RX J0203.8+2959
We present the first detailed multi-wavelength study of the ROSAT-discovered AM Herculis binary RX J0203.8+2959 comprising extended CCD and photoelectric photometry, phase-resolved spectroscopy with high and low spectral resolution and pointed ROSAT observations with the PSPC and the HRI. Between 1992 and 1997 the system displayed states of high and low accretion with mean brightness levels of ...
