Post-common-envelope binaries from SDSS. IX: Constraining the common-envelope efficiency
- M. Zorotovic, M. Schreiber, B. Gansicke, A. N. G'omez-Mor'an
- Physics
- 8 June 2010
Context. Reconstructing the evolution of post-common-envelope binaries (PCEBs) consisting of a white dwarf and a main-sequence star can constrain current prescriptions of common-envelope (CE)… Expand
Post common envelope binaries from SDSS - XI. The white dwarf mass distributions of CVs and pre-CVs
- M. Zorotovic, M. Schreiber, B. Gansicke
- Physics
- 23 August 2011
Context. We have known for a long time that many of the measured white dwarf (WD) masses in cataclysmic variables (CVs) significantly exceed the mean mass of single WDs. This was thought to be… Expand
A Gaia Data Release 2 catalogue of white dwarfs and a comparison with SDSS
- N. G. Fusillo, P. Tremblay, +16 authors J. H. University
- Physics
- 9 July 2018
We present a catalogue of white dwarf candidates selected from the second data release of Gaia (DR2). We used a sample of spectroscopically confirmed white dwarfs from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey… Expand
The second data release of the INT Photometric Hα Survey of the Northern Galactic Plane (IPHAS DR2)
- G. Barentsen, H. Farnhill, +50 authors A. Zijlstra
- Physics
- 18 June 2014
The INT/WFC Photometric Hα Survey of the Northern Galactic Plane (IPHAS) is a 1800 deg2 imaging survey covering Galactic latitudes |b| < 5° and longitudes l = 30°–215° in the r, i, and Hα filters… Expand
The frequency of planetary debris around young white dwarfs
- D. Koester, B. Gansicke, J. Farihi
- Physics
- 9 April 2014
Context. Heavy metals in the atmospheres of white dwarfs are thought in many cases to be accreted from a circumstellar debris disk, which was formed by the tidal disruption of a rocky planetary body… Expand
Orbital period variations in eclipsing post-common-envelope binaries
- S. Parsons, T. Marsh, +10 authors L. Monard
- Physics
- 21 May 2010
We present high-speed ULTRACAM photometry of the eclipsing post-common-envelope binaries DE CVn, GK Vir, NN Ser, QS Vir, RR Cae, RX J2130.6+4710, SDSS 0110+1326 and SDSS 0303+0054 and use these data… Expand
Precise mass and radius values for the white dwarf and low mass M dwarf in the pre‐cataclysmic binary NN Serpentis
- S. Parsons, T. Marsh, +4 authors R. Hickman
- Physics
- 23 September 2009
Using the high resolution Ultraviolet and Visual Echelle Spectrograph (UVES) mounted on the Very Large Telescope in combination with photometry from the high-speed CCD camera ULTRACAM, we derive… Expand
Post common envelope binaries from SDSS. XII : the orbital period distribution
- A. N. G'omez-Mor'an, B. Gansicke, +18 authors M. Zorotovic
- Physics
- 29 September 2011
Context. 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… Expand
Initial data release of the Kepler-INT survey
- S. Greiss, D. Steeghs, +19 authors S. Shah
- Physics
- 28 February 2012
This paper describes the first data release of the Kepler-INT Survey (KIS), that covers a 116 deg2 region of the Cygnus and Lyra constellations. The Kepler field is the target of the most intensive… Expand
Cataclysmic Variables from SDSS VII. The Seventh Year (2006)
- P. Szkody, S. Anderson, +10 authors A. Schwope
- Physics
- 21 January 2009
Coordinates, magnitudes, and spectra are presented for 39 cataclysmic variables (CVs) found in Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) spectra that were primarily obtained in 2006. Of these, 13 were CVs… Expand
