Observational Evidence of a Centi-parsec Supermassive Black Hole Binary Existing in the Nearby Galaxy M81

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Studying a centi-parsec supermassive black hole binary (SMBHB) would allow us to explore a new parameter space in active galactic nuclei, and these objects are also potential sources of gravitational waves.

The short orbital period binary star at the heart of the planetary nebula M 3-1★ [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters, 2018
We present the discovery of a 3h5m orbital-period binary star at the heart of the planetary nebula M 3-1 - the shortest period photometrically-variable central star known and second only to V458 Vul, in general.

Constraints on the Size of Extra Dimensions from the Orbital Evolution of the Black-Hole X-Ray Binary XTE J1118+480 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
In a universe of the Randall-Sundrum type, black holes are unstable and emit gravitational modes in the extra dimension. This leads to dramatically shortened lifetimes of astrophysical black holes and to an observable change of the orbital period of ...

The orbital period–mass ratio relation of wide sdB+MS binaries and its application to the stability of RLOF [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2018
Wide binaries with hot subdwarf-B (sdB) primaries and main sequence companions are thought to form only through stable Roche lobe overflow (RLOF) of the sdB progenitor near the tip of the red giant branch (RGB).

Light Curves and Period Analysis of Beta Lyrae Stars

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
We present the light-curve period analysis of 36 Beta Lyrae stars from the OMC Archive. We check the reference period of the sample by applying the phase dispersion minimization periodogram.

Orbital Period Increase in ES Ceti [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We report a long-term study of the eclipse times in the 10-minute helium binary ES Ceti. The binary period increases rapidly, with P/P-dot = 6.2x10^6 yr.

Periodic Orbit Theory of Diffraction [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review Letters, 1994
An extension of the Gutzwiller trace formula is given that includes diffraction effects due to hard wall scatterers or other singularities. The new trace formula involves periodic orbits which have arcs on the surface of singularity and which correspond to creping waves. A new family of resonances in the two disk scattering system can be well described

The cataclysmic variable orbital period gap: More evident than ever [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics
Recently, large and homogeneous samples of cataclysmic variables identified by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) were published. In these samples, the famous orbital period gap, which is a dearth of systems in the orbital period range $ and the ...

Minimum Orbital Period of Precataclysmic Variables [PDF]

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal, 2018
More than 20 precataclysmic variable (pre-CV) systems have now been discovered with very short orbital periods ranging from 250 minutes down to 68 minutes.
