Finding the unusual red giant remnants of cataclysmic variable mergers
Mergers between helium white dwarfs and main-sequence stars are likely common, producing red giant-like remnants making up roughly a few percent of all low-mass ($\lesssim2M_\odot$) red giants. Through detailed modeling, we show that these merger remnants possess distinctive photometric, asteroseism...
