The advantages of Sirius-like binaries

How can Sirius-like binaries help?

: The initial Gaia data release (DR1) only contains parallaxes for a few WD's. : For Sirius-like binaries we can take the distance of the main sequence companion star to be the same as the distance for the WD. Many more of these

MS stars are included in DR1.

The benefits of Lyman lines

UV excess caused by

the white dwarf.Emission from the F6V main sequence stars. Burleigh, Barstow and Holberg 1998, MNRAS, 300, 511At the wavelength range of the

Lyman lines there is minimal

contamination from the main sequence companion.

Balmer lines can only be used

if the WD can be resolved and an uncontaminated spectrum obtained.Nice 2017 Simon Joyce

How accurately can we expect to measure

distances in the future? For this sample, the average parallax error in DR1 is 0.39 mili arc sec.

The final data release is expected to have parallax error of ~6.7 micro arc sec.Nice 2017 Simon Joyce

Conclusions and future plans

The distances from Gaia have removed much of the scatter in the observed

mass-radius data and show that the overall form of the MRR is correct. The improved accuracy of the white dwarf distances in later data releases will

allows us to begin to truly test the theoretical mass-radius relation at an accuracy level where temperature and H layer thickness in the models can be

distinguished. The limiting factors contributing to uncertainty in the M-R mesurements are the

reliability of the spectral fitting and log g determination.  A comparison of results from Lyman and Balmer lines shows that there may be

an unexplained systematic offset.  It will be important to quantify the remaining sources of error and develop the

gravitaional redshift method to the required level of accuracy to take full advantage of the Gaia data.   Nice 2017 Simon Joycequotesdbs_dbs1.pdfusesText_1
