Description


We present a spectroscopic sample of 746 detached close binary systems from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Fourth Data Release (2006ApJS..162...38A). The majority of these binaries consist of a white dwarf primary and a low-mass secondary (typically M dwarf) companion. We have determined the temperature and gravity for 496 of the white dwarf primaries and the spectral type and magnetic activity properties for 661 of the low-mass secondaries. We have estimated the distances for each of the white dwarf-main-sequence star binaries and use white dwarf evolutionary grids to establish the age of each binary system from the white dwarf cooling times.
