The Early Optical Afterglow of GRB 030418 and Progenitor Mass Loss
E. S. Rykoff, D. A. Smith, P. A. Price +13
The ROTSE-IIIa telescope and the SSO-40 inch telescope, both located at Siding Spring Observatory, imaged the early time afterglow of GRB 030418. In this report we present observat…
Superhumps in Cataclysmic Binaries. XXIV. Twenty More Dwarf Novae
J. Patterson, J. Thorstensen, J. Kemp +23
We report precise measures of the orbital and superhump period in twenty more dwarf novae. For ten stars, we report new and confirmed spectroscopic periods - signifying the orbital…
NSV 10934: an Unusual ROSAT-Selected Dwarf Nova: An Analogous Object to HT Cam?
T. Kato, R. Stubbings, H. Yamaok +4
NSV 10934 was discovered as a large-amplitude suspected variable star of unknown classification. We noticed that the object is identified with a bright ROSAT X-ray source (1RXS J18…
The transition phase in Nova Muscae 1998, the dust formation in classical novae and a possible link to intermediate polar systems
A. Retter, W. Liller, G. Garradd
We present results of continuous CCD photometry of Nova Muscae 1998 during 17 nights obtained mainly during the transition phase in the light curve of the young nova. We discovered…
