    • EC 10246-2707: a new eclipsing sdB + M dwarf binary⋆ 

      Barlow, B.N.; Kilkenny, David; Drechsel, H.; Dunlap, B.H. (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 

      Tisserand, P.; Clayton, G.; Kilkenny, David; Welch, D. L.; Wyrzykowsk, L.; Pilecki, B. (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 

      Dalessio, J.; Sullivan, D. J.; Kilkenny, David; Provencal, J. L.; Shipman, H. L.; Sullivan, T.; Fraga, L.; Sefako, R. (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 ...
