The DBL Survey II: towards a mass-period distribution of double white dwarf binaries
Double white dwarf binaries are an important remnant of binary evolution as they are possible type Ia supernova progenitors and strong sources of gravitational waves in the low-frequency regime. The double-lined double white dwarf (DBL) survey searches for compact double white dwarfs where both stars are spectrally disentangleable. Candidates are identified by being overluminous compared to the cooling sequence of a typical mass, single white dwarf. In this second DBL survey instalment, we pres…
