Discovery of a probable very fast extragalactic nova in a symbiotic binary
David Modiano, Rudy Wijnands
Very fast novae are novae which evolve exceptionally quickly (on timescales of only days). Due to their rapid evolution, very fast novae are challenging to detect and study, especi…
TUVO-21acq: a new cataclysmic variable discovered through a UV outburst
David Modiano, Rudy Wijnands, David A. H. Buckley +3
Outbursts from cataclysmic variables, such as dwarf novae (DNe), are prevalent throughout the galaxy and are known to emit strongly in the ultraviolet (UV). However, the UV emissio…
TUVOpipe: a pipeline to search for UV transients with Swift-UVOT
David Modiano, Rudy Wijnands, Aastha Parikh +3
Despite the prevalence of transient-searching facilities operating across most wavelengths, the ultraviolet (UV) transient sky remains to be systematically studied. We have recentl…
UV and X-ray observations of the neutron star LMXB EXO 0748-676 in its quiescent state
A. S. Parikh, N. Degenaar, J. V. Hernandez Santisteban +5
The accretion behaviour in low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) at low luminosities, especially at <E34 erg/s, is not well known. This is an important regime to study to obtain a comple…
First ultraviolet outburst detected from ASASSN-18eh strengthens its interpretation as a cataclysmic variable
Sill Verberne, David Modiano, Rudy Wijnands
As part of the Transient UV Objects project, we have discovered a new outburst (at the beginning of October 2020) of the candidate cataclysmic variable (CV) ASASSN-18eh using the U…
Near-ultraviolet detections of four dwarf nova candidates in the globular cluster 47 Tucanae
David Modiano, Aastha S. Parikh, Rudy Wijnands
We investigate near-ultraviolet (NUV) variability in the Galactic globular cluster (GC) 47 Tucanae (47 Tuc). This work was undertaken within the GC sub-project of the Transient UV…
