Candidate halo dark matter
The Milky Way galaxy contains a large, spherical component which is believed to harbor a substantial amount of unseen matter. Recent observations indirectly suggest that as much... -
SDSS4 confirmed white dwarfs catalog
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... -
M-subdwarf research. II. Catalog of ~3000 subdwarfs
We applied the revised M subdwarf classification criteria discussed in Zhang+ 2019, J/ApJS/240/31 (Paper I) to Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST)... -
Radius relations for low-metallicity M-dwarf stars
M subdwarfs are low-metallicity M dwarfs that typically inhabit the halo population of the Galaxy. Metallicity controls the opacity of stellar atmospheres; in metal-poor stars,... -
Discovery of new TESS pulsating hot subdwarfs
This work is dedicated to a search for new pulsating hot subdwarfs in TESS photometric data which could have been missed in previous searches. By matching catalogues of hot... -
Time-series photometry of V391 Peg
V391 Peg (alias HS 2201+2610) is a subdwarf B (sdB) pulsating star that shows both p- and g-modes. By studying the arrival times of the p-mode maxima and minima through the O-C... -
Hot subdwarf binaries from MUCHFUSS
The project Massive Unseen Companions to Hot Faint Underluminous Stars from SDSS (MUCHFUSS) aims at finding hot subdwarf stars with massive compact companions like massive white... -
Stellar parameters for 134 cool subdwarfs
The results of a search for cool subdwarfs are presented. Kinematic (U, V, and W) and stellar parameters (Teff, logg, [Fe/H], and Vturb) are derived for 134 candidate subdwarfs... -
Probing the LHS Catalog
We present moderate resolution spectroscopy of 111 cool dwarf stars to supplement the observations we have already presented in the Palomar/MSU Nearby-Star Spectroscopic Survey.... -
MK-like spectral classification
An MK-like spectral classification has been conducted for 1224 hot subdwarf stars with LAMOST DR9 low-resolution spectra. The whole sample was divided into four categories... -
Light curves and eclipse times of HW Vir
A growing number of eclipsing binary systems of the HW Virginis (HW Vir) kind (i.e. composed by a subdwarf-B/O primary star and an M dwarf secondary) show variations in their... -
Search for variable subdwarf B stars in TESS I
We report the results of our search for pulsating subdwarf B stars in full frame images, sampled at 30 min cadence and collected during Year 1 of the TESS mission. Year 1 covers... -
Mode identification in 3 pulsating hot subdwarfs
We report on the detection of pulsations of three pulsating subdwarf B stars observed by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) satellite and our results of mode... -
Wide astrometric companions with Gaia DR2
Evolution of close binaries often proceeds through the common envelope stage. The physics of the envelope ejection (CEE) is not yet understood, and several mechanisms were... -
Abundance analyses of hot subdwarfs with Subaru
The discovery of extremely zirconium- and lead-rich surfaces amongst a small subgroup of hot subdwarfs has provoked questions pertaining to chemical peculiarity in hot star... -
K2 observations of binaries PHL 457 and EQ Psc
We present an analysis of two pulsating subdwarf B stars PHL 457 and EQ Psc observed during the K2 mission. The K2 light curves of both stars show variation consistent with... -
White dwarf and subdwarf stars in SDSS DR14
White dwarfs carry information on the structure and evolution of the Galaxy, especially through their luminosity function and initial-to-final mass relation. Very cool white... -
Extremely-low mass white dwarf star
The so-called sdA stars are defined by having H-rich spectra and surface gravities similar to hot subdwarf stars, but effective temperature below the zero-age horizontal branch.... -
Bright white dwarfs for high-speed photometry
The upcoming NASA Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) will obtain space-based uninterrupted light curves for a large sample of bright white dwarfs distributed across... -
New hot subdwarf stars
Recent massive sky surveys in different bandwidths are providing new opportunities to modern astronomy. The Virtual Observatory (VO) represents the adequate framework to handle...
