YY Draconis and V709 Cassiopeiae: two intermediate polars with weak magnetic fields
A. J. Norton, A. P. Beardmore, Alasdair Allan +1
We present data from long ROSAT HRI observations of the intermediate polars YY Dra and V709 Cas which show that V709 Cas, like YY Dra, exhibits a double-peaked X-ray pulse profile.…
Is TW Pictoris really an intermediate polar?
A. J. Norton, A. P. Beardmore
We present the results of a long ROSAT HRI observation of the candidate intermediate polar TW Pic. The power spectrum shows no sign of either the previously proposed white dwarf sp…
Lithium in Blanco1: Implications for Stellar Mixing
R. D. Jeffries, D. J. James
We obtain lithium abundances for G and K stars in Blanco 1, an open cluster with an age similar to, or slightly younger than, the Pleiades. We critically examine previous spectrosc…
Submillimeter Observations of the Ultraluminous BAL Quasar APM 08279+5255
Geraint F. Lewis, Scott C. Chapman, Rodrigo A. Ibata +2
With an inferred bolometric luminosity of $5\times10^{15}{\rm \lsun}$, the recently identified z=3.87, broad absorption line quasar APM 08279+5255 is apparently the most luminous o…
HST and ground-based eclipse observations of V2051 Ophiuchi: Binary parameters
Raymundo Baptista, M. S. Catalan, Keith Horne +1
We report on high-speed eclipse photometry of the dwarf nova V2051 Oph while it was in a low brightness state, at B ~ 16.2 mag. In comparison to the average IUE spectra, the ultrav…
The effects of convection on the colours of A and F stars
B. Smalley, F. Kupka
We present a discussion on the effects of convection on the uvby colours of A and F stars. The mixing-length theory used in ATLAS9 is compared to the turbulent convection theory of…
