Binaries with white dwarf in 2MASS

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We present the culmination of our near-infrared survey of the optically spectroscopically identified white dwarf stars from the McCook and Sion (1999ApJS..121....1M, see Cat. <III/235>) catalog, conducted using photometric data from the Two Micron All Sky Survey final All Sky Data Release.

Description

The color selection technique, which identifies candidate binaries containing a white dwarf and a low-mass stellar (or substellar) companion via their distinctive locus in the near-infrared color-color diagram, is demonstrated to be simple to apply and to yield candidates with a high rate of subsequent confirmation.

We recover 105 confirmed binaries, and identify 27 firm candidates (19 of which are new to this work) and 21 tentative candidates (17 of which are new to this work) from the 2MASS data.
