Double Degenerate systems (DDs) are supposed to be significant gravitational wave (GW) sources for future space-based gravitational-wave detectors, e.g., Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA). Recently, one type of DDs with Extremely low-mass WD (ELM WD; $leq 0.30; M_odot$) companions has been largely found in the ELM Survey. They have very short orbital periods and are therefore important sources for LISA detection. Besides, due to the thick envelope of ELM WDs compared with massive WDs (e.g. CO WDs), they are much easier to be found by the combination of electromagnetic (EM) and GW observations. In this paper, we first obtain the population of ELM WDs in DDs with considering the detailed evolutionary tracks of ELM WDs, and then analyse the GW radiation of these systems. We found that about $6times10^3$ sources could be solely detected by LISA, including $sim2times10^3$ chirping sources, and $sim13$ ($sim107$) more sources are expected to be detected by both LISA and ELM Survey (Gaia).

Extremely low-mass white dwarfs (ELM WDs) are helium WDs with a mass less than $sim$$0.3rm;M_odot$. Most ELM WDs are found in double degenerates (DDs) in the ELM Survey led by Brown and Kilic. These systems are supposed to be significant gravitationa
l-wave sources in the mHz frequency. In this paper, we firstly analyzed the observational characteristics of ELM WDs and found that there are two distinct groups in the ELM WD mass and orbital period plane, indicating two different formation scenarios of such objects, i.e. a stable Roche lobe overflow channel (RL channel) and common envelope ejection channel (CE channel). We then systematically investigated the formation of ELM WDs in DDs by a combination of detailed binary evolution calculation and binary population synthesis. Our study shows that the majority of ELM WDs with mass less than $0.22rm;M_odot$ are formed from the RL channel. The most common progenitor mass in this way is in the range of $1.15-1.45rm;M_odot$ and the resulting ELM WDs have a peak around $0.18rm;M_odot$ when selection effects are taken into account, consistent with observations. The ELM WDs with a mass larger than $0.22rm;M_odot$ are more likely to be from the CE channel and have a peak of ELM WD mass around $0.25rm;M_odot$ which needs to be confirmed by future observations. By assuming a constant star formation rate of 2$rm;M_odot yr^{-1}$ for a Milky Way-like galaxy, the birth rate and local density are $5times10^{-4}rm;yr^{-1}$ and $1500rm;kpc^{-3}$, respectively, for DDs with an ELM WD mass less than $0.25rm;M_odot$.
We search for runaway former companions of the progenitors of nearby Galactic core-collapse supernova remnants (SNRs) in the Tycho-Gaia astrometric solution (TGAS). We look for candidates for a sample of ten SNRs with distances less than $2;mathrm{kp
c}$, taking astrometry and $G$ magnitude from TGAS and $B,V$ magnitudes from the AAVSO Photometric All-Sky Survey (APASS). A simple method of tracking back stars and finding the closest point to the SNR centre is shown to have several failings when ranking candidates. In particular, it neglects our expectation that massive stars preferentially have massive companions. We evolve a grid of binary stars to exploit these covariances in the distribution of runaway star properties in colour - magnitude - ejection velocity space. We construct an analytic model which predicts the properties of a runaway star, in which the model parameters are the properties of the progenitor binary and the properties of the SNR. Using nested sampling we calculate the Bayesian evidence for each candidate to be the runaway and simultaneously constrain the properties of that runaway and of the SNR itself. We identify four likely runaway companions of the Cygnus Loop, HB 21, S147 and the Monoceros Loop. HD 37424 has previously been suggested as the companion of S147, however the other three stars are new candidates. The favoured companion of HB 21 is the Be star BD+50 3188 whose emission-line features could be explained by pre-supernova mass transfer from the primary. There is a small probability that the $2;mathrm{M}_{odot}$ candidate runaway TYC 2688-1556-1 associated with the Cygnus Loop is a hypervelocity star. If the Monoceros Loop is related to the on-going star formation in the Mon OB2 association, the progenitor of the Monoceros Loop is required to be more massive than $40;mathrm{M}_{odot}$ which is in tension with the posterior for HD 261393.
Double white dwarf (double-WD) binaries may merge within a Hubble time and produce high-mass WDs. Compared to other high-mass WDs, the double-WD merger products have higher velocity dispersion because they are older. With the power of Gaia data, we s
how strong evidence for double-WD merger products among high-mass WDs by analyzing the transverse-velocity distribution of more than a thousand high-mass WDs (0.8--1.3 $M_odot$). We estimate that the fraction of double-WD merger products in our sample is about 20 %. We also obtain a precise double-WD merger rate and its mass dependence. Our merger rate estimates are close to binary population synthesis results and support the idea that double-WD mergers may contribute to a significant fraction of type Ia supernovae.
Supernovae (SNe) should both frequently have a binary companion at death and form significant amounts of dust. This implies that any binary companion must lie at the center of an expanding dust cloud and the variable obscuration of the companion as t
he SN remnant (SNR) expands will both unambiguously mark the companion and allow the measurement of the dust content through absorption rather than emission for decades after the explosion. However, sufficiently hot and luminous companions can suppress dust formation by rapidly photo-ionizing the condensible species in the ejecta. This provides a means of reconciling the Type IIb SNe Cas A, which lacks a luminous companion and formed a significant amount of dust (Md > 0.1 Msun), with the Type IIb SNe 1993J and 2011dh, both of which appear to have a luminous companion and to have formed a negligible amount of dust (Md < 0.001 Msun). The Crab and SN 1987A are consistent with this picture, as both lack a luminous companion and formed significant amounts of dust. An unrecognized dependence of dust formation on the properties of binary companions may help to explain why the evidence for dust formation in SNe appears so contradictory.
Gravitational microlensing may detect dark stellar remnants - black holes or neutron stars - even if they are isolated. However, it is challenging to estimate masses of isolated dark stellar remnants using solely photometric data for microlensing eve
nts. A recent analysis of OGLE-III long-timescale microlensing events exhibiting the annual parallax effects claimed that a number of bright events were due to mass-gap objects (with masses intermediate between those of neutron stars and black holes). Here, we present a detailed description of the updated and corrected method that can be used to estimate masses of dark stellar remnants detected in microlensing events given the light curve data and the proper motion of the source. We use this updated method, in combination with new proper motions from Gaia EDR3, to revise masses of dark remnant candidates previously found in the OGLE-III data. We demonstrate that masses of mass-gap and black hole events identified in the previous work are overestimated and, hence, these objects are most likely main-sequence stars, white dwarfs, or neutron stars.
