We present follow-up studies of three ultracompact hot subdwarf binaries. Using data from the Zwicky Transient Facility, we find orbital periods of 33.6, 37.3, and 36.9 minutes for ZTF 1946+3203, ZTF 0640+1738, and ZTF 0643+0318 respectively. The light curves show el-lipsoidal variability of the hot subdwarf star with potential eclipses of an accretion disc. Phase-resolved spectroscopic observations with Keck were used to measure a radial velocity curve and atmospheric parameters of the hot subdwarf stars. ZTF J0643 shows evidence of accretion disc emission lines in the average spectrum. Combining light curve and spectroscopic fits will allow us to measure precise system properties such as masses, to determine the evolutionary history and future evolution of the system.
