AA Dor is a close, totally eclipsing, post common-envelope binary with an sdOB-type primary and an extremely low-mass secondary, located close to the mass limit of stable central hydrogen burning. Within error limits, it may either be a…

AA Dor is an eclipsing, post common-envelope binary with an sdOB-type primary and a low-mass secondary. Eleven years ago, an NLTE spectral analysis showed a discrepancy in the surface gravity that was derived by radial-velocity and…

Studies of fundamental parameters of very low-mass objects are indispensable to provide tests of stellar evolution models that are used to derive theoretical masses of brown dwarfs and planets. However, only objects with dynamically…

Irradiation effects in close binaries are crucial for a reliable determination of system parameters and understanding the close binary evolution. We study irradiated light originating from the low mass component of an eclipsing system…

We present an analysis of the rotational velocity of the primary of LB 3459 based on 107 new high-resolution and high-S/N ESO VLT UVES spectra. 105 of them cover a complete orbital period (0.26 d) of this binary system. We have determined…

AB Dor C, a low-mass companion to the young star AB Dor A has recently been imaged. Direct detection and astrometric observations have been used to solve the AB Dor C orbit and obtain a dynamical mass estimate. Near-infrared magnitudes and…

We report the discovery of a relatively bright eclipsing binary system, which consists of a white dwarf and a main sequence K7 star with clear signs of chromospheric and spot activity. The light curve of this system shows $\sim0.2$mag…

Common envelope evolution is a fundamental ingredient in our understanding of the formation of close binary stars containing compact objects which includes the progenitors of type Ia supernovae, short gamma ray bursts and most stellar…

Short-period white dwarf+main-sequence binaries are Post-Common-Envelope Binaries (PCEB) that have survived a common envelope phase. Such systems, if detached and eclipsing, enable precise measurements of the constituent stars, providing a…

The short-period AP Dor eclipsing binary's first in-depth and multiband photometric solutions are presented. We made use of our eight nights of ground-based at a southern hemisphere observatory, and twelve sectors of TESS observations. We…

Hot subdwarf B stars (sdBs) are evolved, core helium-burning objects located on the extreme horizontal branch. Their formation history is still puzzling as the sdB progenitors must lose nearly all of their hydrogen envelope during the…

We present a detailed study of the stellar and orbital parameters of the post-common envelope binary central star of the planetary nebula Ou~5. Low-resolution spectra obtained during the primary eclipse -- to our knowledge the first…

Post-common-envelope binaries (PCEBs) containing a white dwarf (WD) and a main-sequence (MS) star can constrain the physics of common envelope evolution and calibrate binary evolution models. Most PCEBs studied to date have short orbital…

Dwarf carbon stars are dominated by members of the Galactic halo and are thus likely carbon-enhanced metal-poor stars. In this work, a sample of 879 bona fide dwarf carbon stars are characterized by their ground-based light curves, and p<15…
