High-resolution optical spectroscopy of Praesepe white dwarfs
(2009)
We present the results of a high-resolution optical spectroscopic study of nine white dwarf candidate members of Praesepe undertaken with the VLT and Ultraviolet and Visual Echelle Spectrograph. We find, contrary to a ...
A survey for post-common-envelope binary stars using GALEX and SDSS photometry
(2009)
We report the first results of our programme to obtain multi-epoch radial velocity measurements of stars with a strong far-ultraviolet excess to identify post-common-envelope binaries (PCEBs). The targets have been identified ...
A new detailed examination of white dwarfs in NGC 3532 and NGC 2287
(2009)
We present the results of a photometric and spectroscopic study of the white dwarf candidate members of the intermediate age open clusters NGC 3532 and NGC 2287. Of the nine objects investigated, it is determined that six ...
