MUCHFUSS: Status and Highlights (2014)
Conference Proceeding
Geier, S., Kupfer, T., Barlow, B. N., Schaffenroth, V., Furst, F., Heuser, C., …Napiwotzki, R. (2014). MUCHFUSS: Status and Highlights.

The MUCHFUSS project aims at finding sdBs with massive compact companions. Here we report on the current status of our spectroscopic and photometric follow-up campaigns and present some highlight results. We derive orbital solutions of seven new sdB...

Discovery of the Closest Hot Subdwarf Binary with White Dwarf Companion (2013)
Conference Proceeding
Geier, S., Marsh, T. R., Dunlap, B. H., Barlow, B. N., Schaffenroth, V., Ziegerer, E., …Napiwotzki, R. (2013). Discovery of the Closest Hot Subdwarf Binary with White Dwarf Companion. In 18th European White Dwarf Workshop (EUROWD12) (373)

We report the discovery of an extremely close, eclipsing binary system. A white dwarf is orbited by a core He-burning compact hot subdwarf star with a period as short as ≃ 0.04987 d making this system the most compact hot subdwarf binary discovered s...

Eclipsing binaries in open clusters (2003)
Conference Proceeding
Southworth, J., Maxted, P., & Smalley, B. (2003). Eclipsing binaries in open clusters.

Accurate physical parameters have been determined for two early-type detached eclipsing binaries in the open cluster h Persei (NGC 869). Masses accurate to 1.5% are derived from high-resolution spectroscopy and radii accurate to 4--6% have been obtai... Read More about Eclipsing binaries in open clusters.
