Electromagnetic Characterization of the LISA Verification Binary ZTF J0526+5934

We present an analysis of new and archival data to the 20.506 minute LISA verification binary J052610.42+593445.32 (J0526+5934). Our joint spectroscopic and photometric analysis finds that the binary contains an unseen M _1 = 0.89 ± 0.11 M _⊙ CO-core white dwarf primary with an M _2 = 0.38 ± 0.07 M...
