Five New Sirius-like White Dwarf–Main-sequence Star Systems with MagAO-X
Most known white dwarfs in multiple systems with main-sequence stars have been discovered with M-type companions, because the white dwarf causes detectable UV excess and bluer colors than expected from a single M star. Surveys have shown that the…
