The Blue Lurker WOCS 14020: A Long-period Post-common-envelope Binary in M67 Originating from a Merger in a Triple System
We present Hubble Space Telescope far-ultraviolet (FUV) spectra of a blue lurker–white dwarf (BL–WD) binary system in the 4 Gyr open cluster M67. We fit the FUV spectrum of the WD, determining it is a C/O WD with a mass of $0.7{2}_{-0.04}^{+0.05}$ M _⊙ and a cooling age of ~400 Myr. This requires a...
