A Catalog of Spectroscopically Confirmed White Dwarfs from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 4 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
We present a catalog of 9316 spectroscopically confirmed white dwarfs from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 4. We have selected the stars through photometric cuts and spectroscopic modeling, backed up by a set of visual inspections. Roughly 6000

The population of hot subdwarf stars studied withGaia [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics, 2017
In preparation for the upcoming all-sky data releases of the Gaia mission we compiled a catalogue of known hot subdwarf stars and candidates drawn from the literature and yet unpublished databases. The catalogue contains 5613 unique sources and provides multi-band photometry from the ultraviolet to the far infrared, ground based proper motions ...

Constraining Roche-Lobe Overflow Models Using the Hot-Subdwarf Wide Binary Population

open access: yesOpen Astronomy, 2017
One of the important issues regarding the final evolution of stars is the impact of binarity. A rich zoo of peculiar, evolved objects are born from the interaction between the loosely bound envelope of a giant, and the gravitational pull of a companion ...

New Pulse Timing Measurements of the sdBV Star CS 1246

open access: yesOpen Astronomy, 2017
CS 1246 is a hot subdwarf B star discovered in 2009 to exhibit a single, large-amplitude radial pulsation. An O-C diagram constructed from this mode revealed reflex motion due to the presence of a low-mass M dwarf, as well as a long-term trend consistent

From main-sequence binary to blast: MESA modeling of the double-detonation progenitor PTF1 J2238+7430

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics
Context. Hot subdwarf B (sdB) stars in close binaries with white dwarf (WD) companions are potential progenitors of double-detonation thermonuclear supernovae.

On the 3He anomaly in hot subdwarf B stars

open access: yesOpen Astronomy, 2017
Decades ago, 3He isotope enrichment in helium-weak B-type main-sequence, in blue horizontal branch and in hot subdwarf B (sdB) stars, i.e., helium-core burning stars of the extreme horizontal branch, were discovered. Diffusion processes in the atmosphere

К ВОПРОСУ О ВКЛАДЕ ВЫРОЖДЕННЫХ КАРЛИКОВ БЛИЖАЙШИХ ОКРЕСТНОСТЕЙ СОЛНЦА, ГАЛО И НАСЕЛЕНИЯ III В МАССУ ТЕМНОЙ МАТЕРИИ

open access: yesOdessa Astronomical Publications, 2011
The data about occurrence frequency of substars and white dwarfs among close stars are analyzed. The estimation of partial content of subdwarfs and stellar remains among populations II and III as function of power of initial mass function have been made.

The First Substellar Subdwarf? Discovery of a Metal-poor L Dwarf with Halo Kinematics

open access: yes, 2003
We present the discovery of the first L-type subdwarf, 2MASS J05325346+8246465. This object exhibits enhanced collision-induced H$_2$ absorption, resulting in blue NIR colors ($J-K_s = 0.26{\pm}0.16$). In addition, strong hydride bands in the red optical

Spectroscopic follow-up of hot subdwarf variables found in ZTF

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics
Context. Hot subdwarf variables (sdBVs) that display large-amplitude (> 1%) short-period variability as a result of radial-mode pulsations have recently become objects of interest, as they show unique properties among the sdBV classes.
