Hunting For Eclipses: High Speed Observations of Cataclysmic Variables
Liam K Hardy, Martin J McAllister, Vik S Dhillon +12
We present new time-resolved photometry of 74 cataclysmic variables (CVs), 47 of which are eclipsing. 13 of these eclipsing systems are newly discovered. For all 47 eclipsing syste…
Demonstrating 24-hour continuous vertical monitoring of atmospheric optical turbulence
Ryan Griffiths, James Osborn, Ollie Farley +3
We report what is believed to be the first example of fully continuous, 24-hour vertical monitoring of atmospheric optical turbulence. This is achieved using a novel instrument, th…
SHIMM: A Versatile Seeing Monitor for Astronomy
Saavidra Perera, Richard W. Wilson, Tim Butterley +3
Characterisation of atmospheric optical turbulence is crucial for the design and operation of modern ground-based optical telescopes. In particular, the effective application of ad…
The PDS 110 observing campaign - photometric and spectroscopic observations reveal eclipses are aperiodic
Hugh P. Osborn, Matthew Kenworthy, Joseph E. Rodriguez +71
PDS 110 is a young disk-hosting star in the Orion OB1A association. Two dimming events of similar depth and duration were seen in 2008 (WASP) and 2011 (KELT), consistent with an ob…
Optical turbulence characterization at the SAAO Sutherland site
Laure Catala, Steven M. Crawford, David A. H. Buckley +7
We present results from the first year of a campaign to characterize and monitor the optical turbulence profile at the SAAO Sutherland observing station in South Africa. A MASS-DIM…
