The 2001 Superoutburst of WZ Sagittae
J. Patterson, G. Masi, M. Richmond +25
We report the results of a worldwide campaign to observe WZ Sagittae during its 2001 superoutburst. After a 23-year slumber at V=15.5, the star rose within 2 days to a peak brightn…
Superhumps in Cataclysmic Binaries. XXIV. Twenty More Dwarf Novae
J. Patterson, J. Thorstensen, J. Kemp +23
We report precise measures of the orbital and superhump period in twenty more dwarf novae. For ten stars, we report new and confirmed spectroscopic periods - signifying the orbital…
A 16-Year Photometric Campaign on the Eclipsing Novalike Variable DW Ursae Majoris
D. R. S. Boyd, E. de Miguel, J. Patterson +29
We present an analysis of photometric observations of the eclipsing novalike variable DW UMa made by the CBA consortium between 1999 and 2015. Analysis of 372 new and 260 previousl…
FS Aur - a new class of Cataclysmic Variables or the missing link between Intermediate Polars and SW Sex objects?
G. Tovmassian, S. Zharikov, R. Michel +6
FS Aur is a known dwarf nova with an orbital period of about 85.7 minutes. It has been assumed to be a member of the SU UMa subclass of cataclysmic variables (CVs), but previous se…
Measuring the Boundary Layer and Inner Accretion Disk Temperatures for WX Ceti During Superoutburst
S. B. Howell, R. Fried, P. Szkody +2
We obtained EUV photometry, optical spectroscopy, and multi-color optical photometry for WX Cet during its 1998 November superoutburst. WX Cet is only the second short-period, low…
A Spatially Resolved `Inside-out' Outburst of IP Pegasi
N. A. Webb, T. Naylor, Z. Ioannou +6
We present a comprehensive photometric dataset taken over the entire outburst of the eclipsing dwarf nova IP Peg in September/October 1997. Analysis of the lightcurves taken over t…
