“X-Raying” a Be Star Disk: Fundamental Parameters of the Eclipsing Binary Be Star V658 Car

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
With its two stellar eclipses and two disk attenuations per binary orbit, V658 Carinae stands out as the first clear eclipsing Be + sdOB system. This rare alignment offers a unique opportunity to probe the structure and dynamics of a Be star disk with ...

A Search for Subdwarf B Binaries Using Pulsation Timing from TESS

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
Hot subdwarf B (sdB) stars are post-main-sequence stars of high temperature and gravity. Approximately 30% of sdBs exhibit stable pressure and/or gravity-mode pulsations, which can be used via the timing method to test for companion stars and determine ...

Ages of White Dwarf-Red Subdwarf Systems

open access: yes, 2005
We provide the first age estimates for two recently discovered white dwarf-red subdwarf systems, LHS 193AB and LHS 300AB. These unusual systems provide a new opportunity for linking the reliable age estimates for the white dwarfs to the (measurable ...

The Common Envelope Evolution Outcome. II. Short-orbital-period Hot Subdwarf B Binaries Reveal a Clear Picture

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Common envelope evolution (CEE) is vital for forming short-orbital-period compact binaries. It covers many objects, such as double compact merging binaries, Type Ia supernovae progenitors, binary pulsars, and X-ray binaries.

Discovery of a rapidly pulsating subdwarf B star candidate in omega Cen

open access: yes, 2008
We report the discovery of the first variable extreme horizontal branch star in a globular cluster (omega Cen). The oscillation uncovered has a period of 114 s and an amplitude of 32 mmags.

Flare Hunting in Hot Subdwarf and White Dwarf Stars from Cycles 1–5 of TESS Photometry

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
Stellar flares are critical phenomena on stellar surfaces, which are closely tied to stellar magnetism. While extensively studied in main-sequence (MS) stars, their occurrence in evolved compact stars, specifically hot subdwarfs and white dwarfs (WDs ...

The orbits of subdwarf-B + main-sequence binaries. II. Three eccentric systems; BD+29 3070, BD +34 1543 and Feige 87

open access: yes, 2013
The predicted orbital-period distribution of the subdwarf-B (sdB) population is bi-modal with a peak at short ( 250 days) periods. Observationally, many short-period sdB systems are known, but the predicted long period peak is missing as orbits have only

Observational Parameters of Blue Large-amplitude Pulsators

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
Blue large-amplitude pulsators (BLAPs) are a recently discovered class of short-period pulsating variable stars. In this work, we present new information on these stars based on photometric and spectroscopic data obtained for known and new objects ...

A likely candidate of type Ia supernova progenitors: the X-ray pulsating companion of the hot subdwarf HD 49798

open access: yes, 2010
HD 49798 is a hydrogen depleted subdwarf O6 star and has an X-ray pulsating companion (RX J0648.0-4418). The X-ray pulsating companion is a massive white dwarf. Employing Eggleton's stellar evolution code with the optically thick wind assumption, we find
