Binary Properties of Subdwarfs Selected in the GALEX Survey
Abstract
We describe our programme to identify and analyse binary stars among the bright subdwarfs selected in the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) survey. Radial velocity time-series helped us identify subdwarfs with low-mass or compact stellar companions: We describe work conducted on the bright binaries GALEX J0321+4727 and GALEX J2349+3844, and we present a radial velocity study of several objects that include three new likely binaries. We also carried out photometric observations that allowed us to detect long period pulsations in the subdwarf components in two of the close binaries.
