EC 10246-2707: a new eclipsing sdB + M dwarf binary⋆
(OUP, 2013)We announce the discovery of a new eclipsing hot subdwarf B + M dwarf binary, EC 10246-2707, and present multi-colour photometric and spectroscopic observations of this system. Similar to other HW Vir-type binaries, the ... -
The ongoing pursuit of R Coronae Borealis stars: the ASAS-3 survey strikes again
(EDP Sciences, 2013)CONTEXT: R Coronae Borealis stars( RCBs) are rare, hydrogen-deficient, carbon rich super giant variable stars that are likely the evolved merger products of pairs of CO and He white dwarfs. Only 55 RCB stars have been found ... -
Periodic variations in the O-C diagrams of five pulsation frequencies of the DB white dwarf EC 20058-5234
(American Physical Society, 2013)Variations in the pulsation arrival time of five independent pulsation frequencies of the DB white dwarf EC 20058−5234 individually imitate the effects of reflex motion induced by a planet or companion but are inconsistent ... -
Spectroscopy of the variable K-dwarf UNSW-V-760: is it a pre-main-sequence pulsator?
(Oxford University Press, 2013)The star UNSW-V-760 is a known variable, showing both flares and two non-sinusoidal periodicities. Availability of high signal-to-noise spectra reported in this paper has enabled a revision of the spectral type of this ...
