ULTRACAM - an ultra-fast, triple-beam CCD camera
Vik Dhillon, Tom Marsh, the ULTRACAM team
ULTRACAM is an ultra-fast, triple-beam CCD camera which has been designed to study one of the few remaining unexplored regions of observational parameter space - high temporal reso…
The Recurrent Nova U Scorpii - A Type Ia Supernova Progenitor
T. D. Thoroughgood, V. S. Dhillon, S. P. Littlefair +2
We derive the mass of the white dwarf in the eclipsing recurrent nova U Sco from the radial velocity semi-amplitudes of the primary and secondary stars. Our results give a high whi…
Long-term photometry of WX Arietis: evidence for eclipses and dips
P. Rodriguez-Gil, J. Casares, V. S. Dhillon +1
We present R-band photometry of the SW Sex-type cataclysmic variable WX Arietis made in October 1995 and August 1998-February 1999. Contrary to previous results, we find that WX Ar…
Infrared observations of cataclysmic variables
V. S. Dhillon
We review infrared (1-2.5 microns) observations of cataclysmic variables, a relatively unexplored part of the spectrum in which the dominant sources of emission are the secondary s…
