A recent development in the study of magnetic cataclysmic variable stars (mCVs) has been the identification of asynchronously spinning mCVs with orbital periods <2 h that have significantly higher white dwarf spin-to-orbital period ratios…

Continuing our work from Paper I (Southworth et al., 2006) we present medium-resolution spectroscopy and broad-band photometry of seven cataclysmic variables (CVs) discovered by the SDSS. For six of these objects we derive accurate orbital…

We report high resolution optical speckle observations of 336 M dwarfs which result in 113 measurements of relative position of 80 systems and 256 other stars with no indications of duplicity. These are the first measurements for two of the…

We report the discovery of PSR J1753-2240 in the Parkes Multibeam Pulsar Survey database. This 95-ms pulsar is in an eccentric binary system with a 13.6-day orbital period. Period derivative measurements imply a characteristic age in excess…

We present a sample of 242 ultra-short-period (P < 0.22 d) eclipsing and ellipsoidal binary stars identified in the OGLE fields toward the Galactic bulge. Based on the light curve morphology, we divide the sample into candidates for contact…

We report the discovery of a new eclipsing system less than one arcminute south of the pulsating DB white dwarf KUV 05134+2605. The object could be identified with the point source 2MASSJ0516288+260738 published by the Two Micron All Sky…

Four candidates of eclipsing multiples, based on new extraneous eclipses found on Kepler binary light curves, are presented and studied. KIC 7622486 is a double eclipsing binary candidate with orbital period of 2.2799960 days and 40.246503…

Using Campaign 15 data from the K2 mission, we have discovered a triply-eclipsing triple star system: EPIC 249432662. The inner eclipsing binary system has a period of 8.23 days, with shallow $\sim$3% eclipses. During the entire 80-day…

Identifying long-period eclipsing binaries with space-based photometry is still a challenge even in the century of space telescopes due to the relatively short observation sequences and short lifetime of these missions. The Transiting…
