For low mass SDSS systems see Kilic et al. 2011a still need to add more information (GN)

SDSS J0651+2844

12 minute system found by Kilic & co Brown et al. 2011

SDSS J0935+4411

20 min system, Kilic & co Kilic et al. 2014

SDSS J0106-1000

Kilic et al. 2011b

SDSS J1053+5200

Paper now out Kilic et al. 2010

Reported by Badenes in KITP conference, 2009, http://online.kitp.ucsb.edu/online/sdeath_c09/ as a short period double white dwarf. It has a radial velocity amplitude of 310 +/- 14 km/s. They observed the star as it was one of the targets discussed by Kilic et al (2007) for being a very low mass white dwarf (0.19 Msun). Such stars are very likely to be binary as this one indeed is (TRM). The mass of the unseen (secondary) star is a lower limit calculated from the radial velocity amplitude and the 0.19 Msun mass for the primary. Kilic et al (2007) lists a temperature of 15,900K, which combined with the mass of the brighter object should give a distance.

SDSS J1630+4233

See Giannidas et al. 2014

SDSS J1436+5010

Paper now out Kilic et al. 2010

Second system reported by Badenes at KITP conference, 2009, http://online.kitp.ucsb.edu/online/sdeath_c09/ (see SDSS J1053+5200). This is also another star from Kilic et al (2007). The radial velocity semi-amplitude K = 388 +/- 21 km/s, which leads to the lower limit on the mass of the secondary star assuming the quoted mass for the primary star. Kilic et al (2007) list a temperature of 18,400 K cf 17,000 K from Eisenstein et al (2006) where this star was first identified as a low mass white dwarf.

WD 0957-666

Period from Moran et al (1997); distance from Bragaglia et al (1995). Uncertainty in the distance is a bit of a guess; formal uncertainties are lower, but things are never quite as good as formal uncertainties suggest. Nevertheless, this distance (which is based upon the apparent magnitude versus model atmosphere fits (with a 20% correction for the light of the companion which I have used to raise the absolute magnitude of the system by 0.2 mags), and should be pretty good. (TRM)

Mass ratio q = M1/M2 (brighter over fainter). This is a double-lined system and so the mass ratio is well determined. (TRM)

The masses are from Moran et al (1997). The inclination comes from taking a 2-sigma lower limit on sin i from Moran et al (1997) together with an absence of observed eclipses from Hoard & Wachter (2002) (TRM).

WD 1101+364

Marsh (1995) discovered this star to be a binary. It is a double-lined system (TRM). The absolute magnitude has been corrected up by 0.75 mags from a straight model atmosphere fit because the system is a very equal double (TRM). Masses and inclination are not well constrained; mass ratio is OK (TRM). As usual for the double white dwarfs, the mass ratio = M(bright)/M(faint) (TRM).

WD 1704+4807BC

Maxted et al (2000) discovered that this star was a close binary. It is part of a triple system with another white dwarf and hence the 'BC' designation (TRM). Mass ratio is ratio of masses of the bright over the faint component (TRM).
