High speed photometry of faint cataclysmic variables - VI. Car2, V1040 Cen, Ha 075648, IL Nor (Nova Nor 1893), HS Pup (Nova Pup 1963), SDSS J2048-06, CSS 081419-005022 and CSS 112634-100210

Patrick A. Woudt, Brian Warner

We have observed 8 faint cataclysmic variable stars photometrically. The nova-like Car2 was extensively sampled but showed little variability. V1040 Cen was observed near the end o…

Constraining chameleon field theories using the GammeV afterglow experiments

A. Upadhye, J. H. Steffen, A. Weltman

The GammeV experiment has constrained the couplings of chameleon scalar fields to matter and photons. Here we present a detailed calculation of the chameleon afterglow rate underly…
