A population synthesis study of the Gaia 100 pc unresolved white dwarf-main sequence binary population

[Context] Binaries consisting of a white dwarf and a main-sequence star (WDMSs) are excellent tools for studying a wide variety of open problems in modern astronomy. However, due to selection effects, the currently known WDMS population is severely affected by observational biases. This is particula...

Sumario:[Context] Binaries consisting of a white dwarf and a main-sequence star (WDMSs) are excellent tools for studying a wide variety of open problems in modern astronomy. However, due to selection effects, the currently known WDMS population is severely affected by observational biases. This is particularly the case for unresolved systems in which the main-sequence companions usually outshine the white dwarf components.
