They are understood to result from a thermonuclear detonation in a white dwarf that formed from the exhausted core of a star more massive than the Sun. However, the possible progenitor channels leading to an explosion are a long-standing debate, limiting the precision and accuracy of supernova Ia as distance indicators. Here we present HD 265435, a binary system with an orbital period of less than a hundred minutes, consisting of a white dwarf and a hot subdwarf — a stripped core-helium burning star.

  • DIRECT DETECTION of the L-DWARF DONOR in WZ SAGITTAE Thomas E

DIRECT DETECTION OF THE L-DWARF DONOR IN WZ SAGITTAE Thomas E. Harrison1 Department of Astronomy, New Mexico State University, Box 30001, MSC 4500, Las Cruces, NM 88003-8001, USA Received 2015 September 15; accepted 2015 November 20; published 2015 December 21 ABSTRACT Analysis of a large set of phase-resolved K-band spectra of the cataclysmic variable WZ Sge shows that the secondary star of this system appears to be an L-dwarf. Previous K-band spectra of WZ Sge found that the CO 12 overtone bandheads were in emission. We show that absorption from the CO(2,0) bandhead of the donor star 12 creates a dip in the CO(2,0) emission feature. Measuring the motion of this feature over the orbital period, we −1 construct a radial velocity curve that gives a velocity amplitude of Kabs = 520±35 km s , consistent with the previously published values for this parameter. Key words: brown dwarfs – novae, cataclysmic variables – stars: dwarf novae 1. INTRODUCTION Harrison et al. 2004a) and has a very low accretion rate (Patterson 1998), the donor object has remained elusive. Cataclysmic variables (CVs) are short period binaries where While direct photospheric absorption features from the donor the white dwarf primary is accreting matter from a lower mass in WZ Sge have not previously been detected, Hα emission, secondary star. An angular momentum loss process keeps the ( ) due to the irradiation of the companion during the 2001 system in contact c.f., King & Kolb 1995 , and the orbital outburst, were clearly seen, and led to the first quantitative period shortens over time as the secondary continues to lose constraints on the nature of the secondary.

Simplicio. - I would leave a line stretching from Venice to the final place, not completely straight, or rather, extended in the form of an arc of a circle, but more or less wavy, depending on how much the ship swayed along the way ... Sagredo. - If, therefore, the artist, upon leaving the harbor, began to draw with this pen on a sheet of paper and continued drawing until Alexandretta, he could get from his movement a whole picture of figures ... at least a trace left ... by the end of the pen would be nothing more than a very long and simple line. G. Galileo "Dialogue on the two main systems of the world" Space has been giving astronomers surprise after surprise lately. A number of mysterious space objects were discovered that were not predicted by astrophysics and contradicted it. The more advanced observation methods become, the more such surprises. At one time, I. Shklovsky argued that the discovery of such "cosmic wonders" would confirm the reality of extraterrestrial intelligence, its enormous technical capabilities. But in reality, the "cosmic miracles" showed the backwardness of terrestrial science, which the opium of relativism smiled so much that now it cannot clearly explain ordinary cosmic phenomena caused by natural causes.
