Multiwavelength observations of nova SMCN 2016-10a --- one of the brightest novae ever observed
E. Aydi, K. L. Page, N. P. M. Kuin +17
We report on multiwavelength observations of nova SMCN 2016-10a. The present observational set is one of the most comprehensive for any nova in the Small Magellanic Cloud, includin…
SAGE-Var: An Infrared Survey of Variability in the Magellanic Clouds
D. Riebel, M. L. Boyer, S. Srinivasan +9
We present the first results from the SAGE-Var program, a follow on to the Spitzer legacy program Surveying the Agents of Galaxy Evolution (SAGE; Meixner, et al. 2006). We obtained…
The VVV Templates Project. Towards an Automated Classification of VVV Light-Curves. I. Building a database of stellar variability in the near-infrared
R. Angeloni, R. Contreras Ramos, M. Catelan +50
Context. The Vista Variables in the VÃa Láctea (VVV) ESO Public Survey is a variability survey of the Milky Way bulge and an adjacent section of the disk carried out from 2010 on…
Multiwavelength observations of V407 Lupi (ASASSN-16kt) --- a very fast nova erupting in an intermediate polar
E. Aydi, M. Orio, A. P. Beardmore +19
We present a detailed study of the 2016 eruption of nova V407 Lupi (ASASSN-16kt), including optical, near-infrared, X-ray, and ultraviolet data from SALT, SMARTS, SOAR, Chandra, Sw…
Inhomogeneities in molecular layers of Mira atmospheres
M. Wittkowski, D. A. Boboltz, M. Ireland +7
We obtained K-band spectro-interferometric observations of the Miras R Cnc, X Hya, W Vel, and RW Vel with a spectral resolution of 1500 using the VLTI/AMBER instrument. We obtained…
Multiwavelength Monitoring of the BL Lacertae Object PKS 2155-304 in May 1994. I. The Ground-Based Campaign
J. E. Pesce, C. M. Urry, L. Maraschi +29
Optical, near-infrared, and radio observations of the BL Lac object PKS2155-304 were obtained simultaneously with a continuous UV/EUV/X-ray monitoring campaign in 1994 May. Further…
Light-curves of symbiotic stars in massive photometric surveys I: D-type systems
M. Gromadzki, J. Mikolajewska, P. Whitelock +1
ASAS, MACHO, OGLE and SAAO JHKL light curves of 13 stars, that have at some time been classified as D-type symbiotics, are analysed. Most of the near-IR light-curves that have been…
Total eclipse of the heart: The AM CVn Gaia14aae / ASSASN-14cn
H. C. Campbell, T. R. Marsh, M. Fraser +82
We report the discovery and characterisation of a deeply eclipsing AM CVn-system, Gaia14aae (= ASSASN-14cn). Gaia14aae was identified independently by the All-Sky Automated Survey…
Nature of light variations in the symbiotic binary V417 Cen
M. Gromadzki, J. Mikolajewska, B. Pilecki +2
V417 Cen is a D'-type symbiotic system surrounded by a faint, extended asymmetric nebula. Optical photometric observations of this object cover last 20 years. They show strong long…
The extended atmospheres of Mira variables probed by VLTI, VLBA, and APEX
M. Wittkowski, D. A. Boboltz, C. de Breuck +9
We present an overview on our project to study the extended atmospheres and dust formation zones of Mira stars using coordinated observations with the Very Large Telescope Interfer…
