Keck IR Spectroscopy of WZ Sge: Detection of Molecular Emission from the Accretion Disk

Steve B. Howell, Thomas E. Harrison, Paula Szkody

Time-resolved IR spectroscopy of WZ Sge was obtained using NIRSPEC on Keck II. We detect CO and H emission from the accretion disk placing WZ Sge into a rarefied class of…
