We investigate interaction effects on the dynamics and morphology of the galaxy pairs AM,2058-381 and AM,1228-260. This work is based on $r$ images and long-slit spectra obtained with the Gemini Multi-Object Spectrograph at the Gemini South Telescope. The luminosity ratio between the main (AM,2058A) and secondary (AM,2058B) components of the first pair is a factor of $sim$ 5, while for the other pair, the main (AM,1228A) component is 20 times more luminous than the secondary (AM,1228B). The four galaxies have pseudo-bulges, with a Sersic index $n<2$. Their observed radial velocities profiles (RVPs) present several irregularities. The receding side of the RVP of AM,2058A is displaced with respect to the velocity field model, while there is a strong evidence that AM,2058B is a tumbling body, rotating along its major axis. The RVPs for AM,1228A indicate a misalignment between the kinematic and photometric major axes. The RVP for AM,1228B is quite perturbed, very likely due to the interaction with AM,1228A. NFW halo parameters for AM,2058A are similar to those of the Milky Way and M,31. The halo mass of AM,1228A is roughly 10% that of AM,2058A. The mass-to-light (M/L) of AM,2058 agrees with the mean value derived for late-type spirals, while the low M/L for AM,1228A may be due to the intense star formation ongoing in this galaxy.

We present optical and X-ray observations of two tidally distorted, extremely low-mass white dwarfs (WDs) with massive companions. There is no evidence of neutron stars in our Chandra and XMM observations of these objects. SDSS J075141.18$-$014120.9
(J0751) is an eclipsing double WD binary containing a 0.19 Msol WD with a 0.97 Msol companion in a 1.9 h orbit. J0751 becomes the fifth eclipsing double WD system currently known. SDSS J174140.49+652638.7 (J1741) is another binary containing a 0.17 Msol WD with an unseen M > 1.11 Msol WD companion in a 1.5 h orbit. With a mass ratio of ~0.1, J1741 will have stable mass transfer through an accretion disk and turn into an interacting AM Canum Venaticorum (AM CVn) system in the next ~160 Myr. With a mass ratio of 0.2, J0751 is likely to follow a similar evolutionary path. These are the first known AM CVn progenitor binary systems and they provide important constraints on the initial conditions for AM CVn. Theoretical studies suggest that both J0751 and J1741 may create thermonuclear supernovae in ~10^8 yr, either .Ia or Ia. Such explosions can account for ~1% of the Type Ia supernova rate.
{it Kepler} satellite photometry and phase-resolved spectroscopy of the ultracompact AM CVn type binary SDSS J190817.07+394036.4 are presented. The average spectra reveal a variety of weak metal lines of different species, including silicon, sulphur
and magnesium as well as many lines of nitrogen, beside the strong absorption lines of neutral helium. The phase-folded spectra and the Doppler tomograms reveal an S-wave in emission in the core of the He I 4471 AA,absorption line at a period of $P_{rm orb}=1085.7pm2.8$,sec identifying this as the orbital period of the system. The Si II, Mg II and the core of some He I lines show an S-wave in absorption with a phase offset of $170pm15^circ$ compared to the S-wave in emission. The N II, Si III and some helium lines do not show any phase variability at all. The spectroscopic orbital period is in excellent agreement with a period at $P_{rm orb}=1085.108(9)$,sec detected in the three year {it Kepler} lightcurve. A Fourier analysis of the Q6 to Q17 short cadence data obtained by {it Kepler} revealed a large number of frequencies above the noise level where the majority shows a large variability in frequency and amplitude. In an O-C analysis we measured a $vertdot{P}vertsim1.0,$x$,10^{-8},$s,s$^{-1}$ for some of the strongest variations and set a limit for the orbital period to be $vertdot{P}vert<10^{-10}$s,s$^{-1}$. The shape of the phase folded lightcurve on the orbital period indicates the motion of the bright spot. Models of the system were constructed to see whether the phases of the radial velocity curves and the lightcurve variation can be combined to a coherent picture. However, from the measured phases neither the absorption nor the emission can be explained to originate in the bright spot.
The nominal Kepler mission provided very high-precision photometric data. Using these data, interesting phenomena such as spots, and ``hump and spike features were observed in the light curves of some normal A and metallic lined A stars (Am stars). H
owever, the connection between such phenomena and the chemical peculiarity of the Am stars is still unclear. In order to make progress on these issues, its important to collect high-resolution spectroscopic data to determine their fundamental parameters and individual chemical abundances. In this paper, we present a spectroscopic study of a sample of ``hump and spike stars in the nominal Kepler field. We used data collected with the High Efficiency and Resolution Mercator {E}chelle Spectrograph (HERMES). We determined the spectral type of these stars and obtained the atmospheric stellar parameters such as effective temperatures, surface gravities, projected rotational, microturbulent and radial velocities. We also performed a detailed individual chemical abundance analysis for each target. We confirmed KIC 3459226 and KIC 6266219 as Am stars, KIC 9349245 as a marginal Am star, while KIC 4567097, KIC 4818496, KIC 5524045, KIC 5650229, KIC 7667560, and KIC 9272082 are non-Am stars. To estimate their evolutionary phases, all the stars were placed in the Hertzsprung-Russell (HR) diagram. Based on their spectral classification and chemical abundance pattern, we reclassified KIC 6266219 (previously treated as chemically normal) as an Am star (kA3hA7mF1) and KIC 9272082 (previously treated as Am) as non-Am.
We present Chandra and Swift X-ray observations of four extremely low-mass (ELM) white dwarfs with massive companions. We place stringent limits on X-ray emission from all four systems, indicating that neutron star companions are extremely unlikely a
nd that the companions are almost certainly white dwarfs. Given the observed orbital periods and radial velocity amplitudes, the total masses of these binaries are greater than 1.02 to 1.39 Msun. The extreme mass ratios between the two components make it unlikely that these binary white dwarfs will merge and explode as Type Ia or underluminous supernovae. Instead, they will likely go through stable mass transfer through an accretion disk and turn into interacting AM CVn. Along with three previously known systems, we identify two of our targets, J0811 and J2132, as systems that will definitely undergo stable mass transfer. In addition, we use the binary white dwarf sample from the ELM Survey to constrain the inspiral rate of systems with extreme mass ratios. This rate, 0.00017/year, is consistent with the AM CVn space density estimated from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Hence, stable mass transfer double white dwarf progenitors can account for the entire AM CVn population in the Galaxy.
We present the results of a two and a half year optical photometric monitoring programme covering 16 AM CVn binaries using the Liverpool Telescope on La Palma. We detected outbursts in seven systems, one of which (SDSS J0129) was seen in outburst for
the first time. Our study coupled with existing data shows that ~1/3 of these helium-rich accreting compact binaries show outbursts. The orbital period of the outbursting systems lie in the range 24-44 mins and is remarkably consistent with disk-instability predictions. The characteristics of the outbursts seem to be broadly correlated with their orbital period (and hence mass transfer rate). Systems which have short periods (<30 min) tend to exhibit outbursts lasting 1--2 weeks and often show a distinct `dip in flux shortly after the on-set of the burst. We explore the nature of these dips which are also seen in the near-UV. The longer period bursters show higher amplitude events (5 mag) that can last several months. We have made simulations to estimate how many outbursts we are likely to have missed.
