Photometric Analysis of Variable Stars in NGC 299

R. J. Sanders, I. Serraj, P. C. Schmidtke +1

We have analyzed OGLE-III photometry for stars in the SMC cluster NGC 299. Two eclipsing binaries and one intrinsic variable (most likely a Be star) are identified. Unlike other yo…

An Investigation of Be/X-ray Pulsars with OGLE-III Data

P. C. Schmidtke, A. P. Cowley, A. Udalski

We have studied five seasons of OGLE-III data for eight SMC Be/X-ray pulsars for which no other survey data were available. We have determined orbital periods for four of these bin…

Photometric Variability of Be/X-ray-Pulsar Binaries in the SMC

P. C. Schmidtke, A. P. Cowley

We have studied the photometric variability of ten SMC Be/X-ray pulsars using MACHO and OGLE-II data. For some of these systems we have found periodic behavior, including orbital o…

X-ray Pulsations in the Supersoft X-ray Binary CAL 83

P. C. Schmidtke, A. P. Cowley

X-ray data reveal that the supersoft X-ray binary CAL 83 exhibits 38.4 minute pulsations at some epochs. These X-ray variations are similar to those found in some novae and are lik…

Photometric Periodicities of Be/X-ray Pulsars in the Small Magellanic Cloud

P. C. Schmidtke, A. P. Cowley

Analysis of the longterm photometric variability of 7 Be/X-ray-pulsar systems in the Small Magellanic Cloud has been carried out. We find a variety of types of variability are pres…

FUSE Observations of RX J0513.9-6951

J. B. Hutchings, A. P. Cowley, R. Mann +2

FUSE observations were obtained in July 2003 during 1.2 cycles of the 0.76-day binary orbit of RX J0513.9-6951. Radial velocity measurements of the broad O VI emission profile show…
