Optical Spectroscopy of TeV-emitting BL Lac Candidates

Cassidy Metzger, Ryan C. Hickox, John R. Thorstensen

TeV-emitting BL Lacertae (BL Lac) blazars have important implications for the study of jet phenomenology, particle acceleration, and ultra high-energy cosmic ray production. They a…

Cataclysmic variables from SRG/eROSITA: new systems from eRASS1

A. D. Schwope, J. Brink, D. A. H. Buckley +12

(abridged) Aims. We aim to generate large samples of CVs selected from the SRG/eROSITA surveys to address fundamental questions about binary evolution, the role of magnetic fields…

1000 cataclysmic variables identified from DESI spectroscopy

K. Inight, B. T. Gänsicke, A. Aungwerojwit +41

Most cataclysmic variables (CVs) are discovered when they have an outburst generating an inherent selection bias against CVs that rarely, or never, outburst. CVs discovered by virt…

SRGA J115215.0510656: an unusual long-period eclipsing dwarf nova with disc wind signatures

Nikita Rawat, David A. H. Buckley, John R. Thorstensen +9

We present the first detailed optical study of the cataclysmic variable SRGA J115215.0510656, based on new time-resolved photometric and spectroscopic observations complemented…

The optical photometric and spectroscopic periodicities of the cataclysmic variable SRGt 062340.2-265751

J. Brink, D. A. H. Buckley, M. Veresvarska +10

We report on optical spectroscopic and photometric follow-up observations of the eROSITA discovered transient SRGt 062340.2-265751 and show that it displays the characteristics of…

Observations of Five Southern-Hemisphere Cataclysmic Binary Stars

John R. Thorstensen, Annabelle E. Niblett, Shreya Gandhi +7

We present observations and analyses of five little-studied cataclysmic binary stars in the southern celestial hemisphere. Our new observations are from the South African Astronomi…
