Hot Subdwarfs in Binaries: Multiwavelength Observations and Evolutionary Implications
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstact
We are looking for stellar companions to very hot helium-rich subluminous (sdO) stars by using infrared photometry, optical CCD imaging and spectroscopy. The work is complemented with a comprehensive bibliographic and space-mission databanks search for the objects in our sample (Thejll, Ulla & MacDonald 1995). Companions can be used to indirectly measure the distance to the hot subdwarfs, and give clues about possible binary evolution scenarios. We have therefore gathered and analysed data for 57 hot subdwarfs in a search for IR excesses and companions. 43 of the stars are observed for the first time in the JHK bands and 28 objects are found to have larger IR fluxes than expected from a single sdO.
