Classification of Metal-Deficient Dwarfs in the Vilnius Photometric System

open access: yesOpen Astronomy, 2003
Methods used for the quantitative classification of metal-deficient stars in the Vilnius photometric system are reviewed. We present a new calibration of absolute magnitudes for dwarfs and subdwarfs, based on Hipparcos parallaxes.

Microscopic diffusion and subdwarfs

open access: yes, 1999
The recent distance determinations by HIPPARCOS have allowed to locate very precisely a reasonable set of subdwarfs in the HR diagram. A detailed comparison with evolutionary models is now possible and it has been recently claimed that the observed lower part of the main-sequence is cooler than the computed one.

Pulsating hot O subdwarfs in ω Centauri: mapping a unique instability strip on the extreme horizontal branch [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We present the results of an extensive survey for rapid pulsators among Extreme Horizontal Branch (EHB) stars in ω Cen. The observations performed consist of nearly 100 h of time-series photometry for several off-centre fields of the cluster, as well as ...

Hot subluminous stars: Highlights from the MUCHFUSS and Kepler missions

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2013
Research into hot subdwarf stars is progressing rapidly. We present recent important discoveries. First we review the knowledge about magnetic fields in hot subdwarfs and highlight the first detection of a highly-magnetic, helium-rich sdO star.

The hot subdwarfs revisited

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 1982
The properties and evolutionary status of the hot B and O subdwarfs are reinvestigated using recent homogeneous grids of hot, high-gravity model atmospheres and detailed convective envelope calculations appropriate to the hot subdwarf region of the H-R diagram discussed by Greenstein and Sargent.

A Universal Transition in Atmospheric Diffusion for Hot Subdwarfs Near 18,000 K [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In the color–magnitude diagrams of globular clusters, when the locus of stars on the horizontal branch extends to hot temperatures, discontinuities are observed at colors corresponding to ∼12,000 and ∼18,000 K.

THE ALLWISE MOTION SURVEY AND THE QUEST FOR COLD SUBDWARFS [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The AllWISE processing pipeline has measured motions for all objects detected on Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) images taken between 2010 January and 2011 February.

Hot subdwarf formation: Confronting theory with observation

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2013
The formation of hot subdwarf stars is still unclear. Both single-star and binary scenarios have been proposed to explain the properties of these evolved stars situated at the extreme blue end of the horizontal branch. The observational evidence gathered
