GD 552: a cataclysmic variable with a brown dwarf companion?
E. Unda-Sanzana, T. R. Marsh, B. T. Gansicke +7
GD 552 is a high proper motion star with the strong, double-peaked emission lines characteristic of the dwarf nova class of cataclysmic variable star, and yet no outburst has been…
The component masses of the cataclysmic variable V347 Puppis
T. D. Thoroughgood, V. S. Dhillon, D. Steeghs +7
We present time-resolved spectroscopy and photometry of the double-lined eclipsing cataclysmic variable V347 Pup (= LB 1800). There is evidence of irradiation on the inner hemisphe…
The masses of the cataclysmic variables AC Cancri and V363 Aurigae
T. D. Thoroughgood, V. S. Dhillon, C. A. Watson +3
We present time-resolved spectroscopy and photometry of the double-lined eclipsing cataclysmic variables AC Cnc and V363 Aur (= Lanning 10). There is evidence of irradiation on the…
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…
The mass of the white dwarf in the recurrent nova U Scorpii
T. D. Thoroughgood, V. S. Dhillon, S. P. Littlefair +2
We present spectroscopy of the eclipsing recurrent nova U Sco. The radial velocity semi-amplitude of the primary star was found to be K_W = 93 \pm 10 kms^{-1} from the motion of th…
