Diffusion in hot subdwarf progenitors from the common envelope channel

open access: yesOpen Astronomy, 2017
Diffusion of elements in the atmosphere of a star can drastically affect its surface composition, sometimes leading to unusual mixtures. These chemically peculiar stars can be identified fromthe presence of unusual lines in their spectra.

Spectroscopic classification of red high proper motion objects in the Southern Sky

open access: yes, 2005
We present the results of spectroscopic follow-up observations for a sample of 71 red objects with high proper motions in the range 0.08-1.14 arcsec/yr as detected using APM and SSS measurements of multi-epoch photographic Schmidt plates.

News on the X-ray emission from hot subdwarf stars

open access: yesOpen Astronomy, 2017
In latest years, the high sensitivity of the instruments on-board the XMM-Newton and Chandra satellites allowed us to explore the properties of the X-ray emission from hot subdwarf stars.

Discovery of magnetic fields in hot subdwarfs

open access: yes, 2004
We present initial results of a project to measure mean longitudinal magnetic fields in a group of sdB/OB/O stars. The project was inspired by the discovery of three super-metal-rich sdOB stars, each having metals (e.g. Ti, V) enhanced by factors of 10^3

A Series of Subdwarf Atmospheres.

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 1961
A series of model stellar atmospheres, representing stars of low heavy- element content, is tabulated. Characteristics of the continua of the models, including (U,B,V) colors and bolometric corrections, are discussed and compared with observations. (auth)

Envelope loss of RGB/AGB stars and the formation of hot subdwarfs

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2013
Low mass stars may lose their envelopes in the first giant branch (RGB) or the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) via envelope ejection (i.e. superwind). The envelope loss of AGB stars leads to the formation of carbon-oxygen (CO) white dwarfs (WDs), while the

He-rich Hot Subdwarf Stars Observed in Gaia DR3 and LAMOST DR7: Carbon and Nitrogen Abundances and Kinematics

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
We conducted an analysis of the abundances of He, C, and N in 210 He-rich hot subdwarfs observed within both the Gaia Data Release 3 (DR3) and LAMOST DR7 data sets.

Atomic diffusion in the atmosphere of Feige 86

open access: yesOpen Astronomy, 2017
We have revisited the ultraviolet and optical spectra of the blue horizontal branch star Feige 86. The new analysis finds the star cooler and more compact than previously determined. The IUE spectrum of Feige 86 holds numerous unidentified spectral lines

Fiducial Stellar Population Sequences for the VJKs Photometric System

open access: yes, 2010
We have obtained broad-band near-infrared photometry for seven Galactic star clusters (M92, M15, M13, M5, NGC1851, M71 and NGC6791) using the WIRCam wide-field imager on the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope, supplemented by images of NGC1851 taken with ...
