We report the discovery of one possible neutron star binary ($P_{\rm orb} =$ 0.8666 day) by using the LAMOST low-resolution spectroscopic data. The visible companion is a late A-type dwarf ($T_{\rm eff} = 7900 \pm 200$ K; log$g$ $=$…
We report a single-lined white dwarf-main sequence binary system, LAMOST J172900.17+652952.8, which is discovered by LAMOST's medium resolution time-domain surveys. The radial velocity semi-amplitude and orbital period of the optical…
Neutron stars (NSs) are traditionally discovered through radio, X-ray, or gamma-ray observations, but optical time-domain surveys can unveil non-accreting NSs in wide binaries. Here we report a NS candidate in the single-lined binary…
We report two binary systems, LAMOST J035540+381550 (hereafter J035540) and LAMOST J035916+400732 (hereafter J035916), identified through the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST) low-resolution survey (LRS).…
We report the discovery of a close binary J0606+2132 (Gaia DR3 3423365496448406272) with $P_{\rm obs}=2.77$ days containing a possible massive white dwarf or a neutron star using the LAMOST spectroscopic data. By a joint fitting of the…
We report the discovery of a dark companion to 2MASS J15274848+3536572 with an orbital period of 6.14 hr. Combining the radial velocity from LAMOST observations and modelling of the multiband light curve, one obtains a mass function of…
Binaries contain rich physical information, and the study of binaries has always been a hot topic in stellar physics research. The stars LAMOST J1132 and LAMOST J0529 have not yet been recorded in the SIMBAD astronomical database. We have…
Recent optical astrometric and spectroscopic surveys have identified numerous neutron star (NS) candidates in non-accreting detached binary systems, but their compact-object nature remains unconfirmed. In this work, we present targeted…
We have identified 2XMM J125556.57+565846.4, at a distance of 600 pc, as a binary system consisting of a normal star and a probable dormant neutron star. Optical spectra exhibit a slightly evolved F-type single star, displaying periodic…
Searching for compact objects (black holes, neutron stars, or white dwarfs) in the Milky Way is essential for understanding the stellar evolution history, the physics of compact objects, and the structure of our Galaxy. Compact objects in…
Finding nearby neutron stars can probe the supernova and metal-enrichment histories near our Solar system. Recently, Lin et al. 2023 reported an exciting neutron star candidate, 2MASS J15274848+3536572 (hereafter J1527), with a small Gaia…
The determination of unseen companion masses ($M_1$) is essential for identifying compact objects in binary systems, yet obtaining reliable orbital inclinations remains one of the most difficult challenges. In this study, we focus on ten…
AIMS: Using Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) data and previous optical and near-infrared sky surveys, we try to identify still missing stellar and substellar neighbours of the Sun. METHODS: When checking the brightest red WISE…
LAMOST J235456.73+335625 (J2354) is a binary system hosting a $\sim 0.7~\rm M_\odot$ K dwarf and a $\sim 1.4~\rm M_\odot$ dark companion, supposedly a neutron star, in a 0.48d orbit. Here we present high- and low-resolution spectroscopy to…
With the progressive release of data from numerous sky surveys, humanity has entered the era of astronomical big data. Multi-wavelength, multi-method research is playing an increasingly crucial role. Binaries account for a substantial…
Theoretical models of low-mass stars continue to be discrepant with observations when used to examine the mass-radius relationship and other physical parameters of individual stars. High-resolution spectroscopy that leads to dynamical…
The near-Earth (within $\sim 100$ pc) supernova explosions in the past several million years can cause the global deposition of radioactive elements (e.g., $^{60}$Fe) on Earth. The remnants of such supernovae are too old to be easily…
Using Virtual Observatory tools, we cross-matched the Carlsberg Meridian 14 and the 2MASS Point Source catalogs to select candidate nearby bright M dwarfs distributed over ~ 25,000 deg^2. Here, we present reconnaissance low-resolution…
The masses of compact objects like white dwarfs, neutron stars and black holes are fundamental to astrophysics, but very difficult to measure. We present the results of an analysis of subluminous B (sdB) stars in close binary systems with…
