Swift observations of the binary white dwarf SDSS J0651+2844
Abstract
We observed the 12.75-minute detached binary white dwarf SDSSJ065133.338+284423.37 (hereafter J0651) system with Swift (Brown et al. 2011, ApJ, 737, L23). J0651 was observed successfully 6 times.
All UVOT observations carried out with the M2 filter, the one retaining the best UV purity (i.e. not contaminated by a red leak). J0651 is detected in all the observations with magnitudes reported below.
