Observations and Analysis of Eclipsing Binary System SDSS J160036.83+272117.8
Abstract
We report observations and analysis of the eclipsing binary system SDSS J160036.83+272117.8 (J1600). We obtained spectra sampled at different orbital phases, time-series photometry of the primary and secondary eclipses, and color photometry in and out of the primary and secondary eclipses. J1600 shows broad Balmer absorption consistent with extremely low mass (ELM) white dwarfs (WD), however, the eclipsing parameters have led us to consider other models. If J1600 is a double white dwarf system, this is the seventh discovery of such a system.
