Hot subdwarf stars in rejected PG catalog

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

The hot subdwarf (sd) stars in the Palomar Green (PG) catalog of ultraviolet excess (UVX) objects play a key role in investigations of the frequency and types of binary companions and the distribution of orbital periods.

Description

These are important for establishing whether and by which channels the sd stars arise from interactions in close binary systems. It has been suggested that the list of PG sd stars is biased by the exclusion of many stars in binaries, whose spectra show the CaII K line in absorption.

A total of 1125 objects that were photometrically selected as candidates were ultimately rejected from the final PG catalog using this K-line criterion. We study 88 of these "PG-Rejects" (PGRs), to assess whether there are significant numbers of unrecognized sd stars in binaries among the PGR objects.
