• HS 0705+6700: a new eclipsing sdB binary 

      Østensen, R.; Solheim, Jan Erik; Johannessen, F. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2001-10-09)
      We report the discovery of an eclipsing binary – HS 0705+6700 – being an sdB star with a faint companion. From its light curve the orbital period of 8263.87 s, the mass ratio of the system q = 0.28, the inclination of 84.◦4 and other system parameters are derived. The companion does not contribute to the optical light of the system except through a strong reflection effect. The semiamplitude of ...

      Context. PG 1159-035, a pre-white dwarf with Teff ≃ 140 000 K, is the prototype of both two classes: the PG 1159 spectroscopic class and the DOV pulsating class. Previous studies of PG 1159-035 photometric data obtained with the Whole Earth Telescope (WET) showed a rich frequency spectrum allowing the identification of 122 pulsation modes. Analyzing the periods of pulsation, it is possible to ...
