BOKS 45906: a CV with an orbital period of 56.6 min in the Kepler field?

Gavin Ramsay, Steve B. Howell, Matt A. Wood +6

BOKS 45906 was found to be a blue source in the Burrell-Optical-Kepler-Survey which showed a 3 mag outburst lasting ~5 d. We present the Kepler light curve of this source which cov…

The long term optical behaviour of helium accreting AM CVn binaries

Gavin Ramsay, Thomas Barclay, Danny Steeghs +4

We present the results of a two and a half year optical photometric monitoring programme covering 16 AM CVn binaries using the Liverpool Telescope on La Palma. We detected outburst…

Stellar variability on time-scales of minutes: results from the first 5 years of the Rapid Temporal Survey (RATS)

Thomas Barclay, Gavin Ramsay, Pasi Hakala +4

The Rapid Temporal Survey (RATS) explores the faint, variable sky. Our observations search a parameter space which, until now, has never been exploited from the ground. Our strateg…

Multi-wavelength observations of the helium dwarf nova KL Dra through its outburst cycle

Gavin Ramsay, Iwona Kotko, Tom Barclay +6

We present multi-wavelength observations of the helium-dominated accreting binary KL Dra which has an orbital period of 25 mins. Our ground-based optical monitoring programme using…

2XMMi J225036.9+573154 - a new eclipsing AM Her binary discovered using XMM-Newton

Gavin Ramsay, Simon Rosen, Pasi Hakala +1

We report the discovery of an eclipsing polar, 2XMMi J225036.9+573154, using XMM-Newton. It was discovered by searching the light curves in the 2XMMi catalogue for objects showing…
