Two bodies with high eccentricity around the cataclysmic variable QS Vir
QS Vir is an eclipsing cataclysmic variable with 3.618 hrs orbital period. This system has the interesting characteristics that it does...
Final Kiss of Two Stars Heading for Catastrophe (ESO press release)
An international team of scientists using the ESO's Very Large Telescope have found the most massive and hottest overcontact binary known...
Red noise versus planetary interpretations in the microlensing event OGLE-2013-BLG-446
For all exoplanet candidates, the reliability of a claimed detection needs to be assessed through a careful study of systematic errors in...
The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey. XXIII. Two massive double-lined binaries in 30 Doradus
We investigate the characteristics of two newly discovered short-period, double-lined, massive binary systems, VFTS 450 (O9.7II--Ib+O7::)...
MLS110213:022733+130617: a new eclipsing polar above the period gap
This study confirms MLS110213:022733+130617 as a new eclipsing polar. We performed optical spectroscopic, polarimetric and photometric...
Identification of strong photometric activity in the components of LHS 1070
Activity in low-mass stars is an important ingredient in the evolution of such objects. Fundamental physical properties such as age,...
A photometric and spectroscopic study of NSVS 14256825: the second sdOB+ dM eclipsing binary
We present an analysis of UBVRCICJH photometry and phase-resolved optical spectroscopy of NSVS 14256825, an HW Vir type binary. The...
Two possible circumbinary planets in the eclipsing post-common envelope system NSVS 14256825
We present an analysis of eclipse timings of the post-common envelope binary NSVS 14256825, which is composed of an sdOB star and a dM...
