AI总结:

本研究利用SOAR/Goodman与SMARKS-1m高速测光观测16颗ZZ Ceti不稳定带候选体,新发现3颗脉动白矮星和3个双星系统。

摘要:

近年来,人们已发现约150颗低质量白矮星(WD),其质量通常低于0.4倍太阳质量。观测证据表明,这些低质量白矮星大多位于双星系统中,这支持双星演化情景是其主要形成途径。该群体中少数极低质量(ELM)白矮星还被发现存在脉动变化。在本工作中,我们开展了一项综合分析,旨在识别新的变光低质量白矮星。根据候选体筛选,我们观测了16个位于ZZ Ceti不稳定带内的天体。这些天体通过SOAR/Goodman和SMARTS-1m望远镜的高速测光在多个夜晚进行观测。我们的分析发现了三颗新的脉动白矮星:一颗脉动ELM、一颗低质量白矮星和一颗ZZ Ceti星。此外,我们还识别出三个位于双星系统中的天体:两颗在光变曲线中表现出椭球变化,其中一颗可能是pre-ELM星;第三颗则呈现反射效应。

英文摘要:

In recent years, approximately 150 low-mass white dwarfs (WDs), typically with masses below 0.4 solar masses, have been discovered. Observational evidence indicates that most of these low-mass WDs are found in binary systems, supporting binary evolution scenarios as the primary formation pathway. A few extremely low-mass (ELM) WDs in this population have also been found to be pulsationally variable. In this work, we present a comprehensive analysis aimed at identifying new variable low-mass WDs. From our candidate selection, we observed 16 objects identified within the ZZ Ceti instability strip. These objects were observed over multiple nights using high-speed photometry from the SOAR/Goodman and SMARTS-1m telescopes. Our analysis led to the discovery of three new pulsating WDs: one pulsating ELM, one low-mass WD, and one ZZ Ceti star. Additionally, we identified three objects in binary systems: two with ellipsoidal variations in their light curves, one of which is likely a pre-ELM star, and a third showing a reflection effect.
