High resolution UVES/VLT spectra of white dwarfs observed for the ESO SN Ia Progenitor Survey III. DA white dwarfs
(2009-10)
Context. The ESO Supernova Ia Progenitor Survey (SPY) took high-resolution spectra of more than 1000 white dwarfs and pre-white dwarfs. About two thirds of the stars observed are hydrogen-dominated DA white dwarfs. Here ...
Binary White Dwarfs in the Supernova Ia Progenitor Survey
(Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2007)
We report results of a systematic radial velocity survey for double degenerate (DD) binaries as potential progenitors of type Ia supernovae: SPY (ESO Supernovae Ia Progenitor surveY). More than 1000 white dwarfs (WDs) and ...
Six New ZZ Ceti Stars from the SPY and the HQS Surveys
(Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2007)
We report on the discovery of six new ZZCeti stars. They were selected as candidates based on preparatory photometric observations of ob- jects from the Hamburg Quasar Survey (HQS), and based on the spectra of the Supernova ...
New Results from the Supernova Ia Progenitor Survey
(Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2005)
We report on a systematic radial velocity survey for double degenerate (DD) binaries as potential progenitors of type Ia supernovae: SPY (ESO Supernovae Ia Progenitor surveY). More than 1000 white dwarfs and pre-white ...
