Asteroseismic Observations of Hot Subdwarfs
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021 There are a number of reasons for studying hot subdwarf pulsation; the most obvious being that these stars remain a poorly understood late-stage of stellar evolution and knowledge of their interior structure, which pulsation studies reveal, constrains ...

COOL SUBDWARF INVESTIGATIONS. III. DYNAMICAL MASSES OF LOW-METALLICITY SUBDWARFS [PDF]
The Astronomical Journal, 2016 ABSTRACT We report dynamical mass measurements for the components of the previously known double-lined spectroscopic subdwarfs G 006-026 B and C using the Fine Guidance Sensors on the Hubble Space Telescope. To build the empirical mass–luminosity relation for low-metallicity subdwarfs, we collect four other subdwarf systems with ...

The subdwarf luminosity function [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2003 Using data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Early Data Release and SuperCOSMOS Sky Survey scans of POSS-I plates we identify a sample of 2600 subdwarfs using reduced proper motion methods and strict selection criteria. This forms one of the largest and most reliable samples of candidate subdwarfs known, and enables us to determine accurate luminosity ...

Hot Subdwarfs in the Galactic Bulge [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2005 Recent observations and theories suggest that extreme horizontal branch (EHB) stars and their progeny should be the cause of the UV excess seen in the spectra of many elliptical galaxies. Since the Galactic Bulge is the closest representation of an old, metal-rich spheroid in which we are able to study the EHB scenario in detail, we obtained spectra of

Origin and pulsation of hot subdwarfs [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2013 AbstractWe briefly introduce hot subdwarfs and their evolutionary status before discussing the different types of known pulsators in more detail. Currently, at least six apparently distinct types of variable are known among hot subdwarfs, encompassing p- as well as g-mode pulsators and objects in the Galactic field as well as in globular clusters. Most

The Formation of Subdwarf A-type Stars [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2019 Abstract Subdwarf A-type stars (sdAs) are objects that have hydrogen-rich spectra with surface gravity similar to that of hot subdwarf stars but effective temperature below the zero-age horizontal branch. They are considered to be metal-poor main-sequence (MS) stars or extremely low-mass white dwarfs (ELM WDs).

The Formation of Subdwarf B Stars [PDF]
International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 2002 AbstractWe performed full binary evolution calculations and carried out binary population synthesis studies in order to investigate the formation of subdwarf B (sdB) stars via the channels of stable Roche lobe overflow (RLOF), common envelope ejection and helium white dwarf mergers. Our model is successful in the explanation of observational properties

Purple dwarfs: New L subdwarfs from UKIDSS and SDSS
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2013 The first L subdwarf was a discovered only ten years ago. Less than ten L subdwarfs been published in the literature to date. Metal-poor ultracool atmospheres has not been well understood.
