Detached white dwarf main-sequence star binaries
We initiated a comprehensive state of the art binary population synthesis study of white dwarf main-sequence star (WDMS) binaries to serve as a foundation for subsequent studies on pre-cataclysmic variables, double white dwarfs, and white dwarf + B-star binaries. We considered seven distinct formation channels subdivided into three main groups according to the evolutionary process that gives ri...
متن کاملSix detached white - dwarf close binaries ⋆
We determine the orbits of four double degenerate systems (DDs), composed of two white dwarfs, and of two white dwarf – M dwarf binaries. The four DDs, WD1022+050, WD1428+373, WD1824+040, and WD2032+188, show orbital periods of 1.157155(5) d, 1.15674(2) d, 6.26602(6) d and 5.0846(3) d respectively. These periods combined with estimates for the masses of the brighter component, based on their ef...
متن کاملThe 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 J 150722 . 30 + 523039 . 8 : a CV formed directly from a detached white dwarf / brown dwarf binary ?
We present high-speed, three-colour photometry of the eclipsing cataclysmic variable SDSS J150722.30+523039.8 (hereafter SDSS J1507). This system has an orbital period of 66.61 minutes, placing it below the observed “period minimum” for cataclysmic variables. We determine the system parameters via a parameterised model of the eclipse fitted to the observed lightcurve by χ minimisation. We obtai...
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 ...
