Visual Discovery of Fading Events in the Wolf-Rayet Star WR 80
Rod Stubbings
Long-term visual and CCD V-band monitoring of the heavily reddened Wolf-Rayet star WR 80 from 2017-2026 reveals optical fading events that depart from its long-term stable baseline…
Discovery of the First-Ever Recorded Fading Event of the Wolf-Rayet Star WR 59
Rod Stubbings
This paper presents the visual discovery of the first-ever recorded fading event of the Wolf-Rayet star WR 59. Historically documented as a stable star with an approximate magnitud…
Revisiting the extremely long-period cataclysmic variables V479 Andromedae and V1082 Sagitarii
Gagik Tovmassian, Diogo Belloni, Anna F. Pala +56
The overwhelming majority of CVs have orbital periods shorter than 10 hr. However, a few have much longer periods, and their formation and existence pose challenges for the CV evol…
ASASSN-22ak: La Belle au bois dormant in a hydrogen-depleted dwarf nova?
Taichi Kato, Franz-Josef Hambsch, Berto Monard +1
ASASSN-22ak is a transient discovered by the All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae and by Gaia in 2022 January. Although this object had been in deep quiescence at least for seve…
The 2022 active state of the AM CVn star NSV 1440
Taichi Kato, Rod Stubbings
We found an active state lasting for ~200 d in the AM CVn star NSV 1440 in 2022. During this state, the object reached a magnitude of 16.5, 2.0-2.5 mag above quiescence, and showed…
Constraining the Evolution of Cataclysmic Variables via the Masses and Accretion Rates of their Underlying White Dwarfs
A. F. Pala, B. T. Gänsicke, D. Belloni +28
We report on the masses (), effective temperatures () and secular mean accretion rates () of 43 cataclysmic variable (CV) wh…
