The fainter the better: cataclysmic variable stars from the SDSS
John Southworth, B T Gaensicke, T R Marsh
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey has identified a total of 212 cataclysmic variables, most of which are fainter than 18th magnitude. This is the deepest and most populous homogeneous s…
On the orbital periods of the AM CVn stars HP Librae and V803 Centauri
G. H. A. Roelofs, P. J. Groot, G. Nelemans +2
We analyse high-time-resolution spectroscopy of the AM CVn stars HP Librae and V803 Centauri, taken with the New Technology Telescope (NTT) and the Very Large Telescope (VLT) of th…
ULTRACAM: an ultra-fast, triple-beam CCD camera for high-speed astrophysics
V. S. Dhillon, T. R. Marsh, M. J. Stevenson +15
ULTRACAM is a portable, high-speed imaging photometer designed to study faint astronomical objects at high temporal resolutions. ULTRACAM employs two dichroic beamsplitters and thr…
A gaseous metal disk around a white dwarf
B. T. Gaensicke, T. R. Marsh, J. Southworth +1
The destiny of planetary systems through the late evolution of their host stars is very uncertain. We report a metal-rich gas disk around a moderately hot and young white dwarf. A…
SDSS J0926+3624, the first eclipsing AM CVn star, as seen by ULTRACAM
T. R. Marsh, V. S. Dhillon, S. Littlefair +6
We present light curves of SDSS J0926+3624, the first eclipsing AM CVn star, observed with the high-speed CCD camera ULTRACAM on the WHT. We find unusually that the accreting white…
Recent observational progress in AM CVn binaries
G. Ramsay, C. Brocksopp, P. Groot +9
We present the results of some recent research on AM CVn systems. We present: X-ray/UV observations made using XMM-Newton; the X-ray grating spectrum of RX J1914+24; preliminary re…
