Hermes, J. J.; Montgomery, Michael H.; Winget, D. E.; Brown, Warren R.; Gianninas, A.; Kilic, Mukremin; Kenyon, S. J.; Bell, Keaton J.; Harrold, Samuel T. (2013-03)

We report the discovery of the second and third pulsating extremely low mass (ELM) white dwarfs (WDs), SDSS J111215.82+111745.0 (hereafter J1112) and SDSS J151826.68+065813.2 (hereafter J1518). Both have masses < 0.25 ...

Radius Constraints From High-Speed Photometry Of 20 Low-Mass White Dwarf Binaries

Hermes, J. J.; Brown, Warren R.; Kilic, Mukremin; Gianninas, A.; Chote, Paul; Sullivan, Denis J.; Winget, D. E.; Bell, Keaton J.; Falcon, Ross E.; Winget, K. I.; Mason, Paul A.; Harrold, Samuel T.; Montgomery, Michael H. (2014-09)

We carry out high-speed photometry on 20 of the shortest-period, detached white dwarf binaries known and discover systems with eclipses, ellipsoidal variations (due to tidal deformations of the visible white dwarf), and ...
