Dynamically driven collapse of a thermally stable accretion disk in a nova-like system

Wentao Li, Jie Lin, Tinggui Wang +8

While standard disk instability theory predicts thermal-steady, outburst-free disks in nova-like variables due to their high mass transfer rates, mass transfer variations are preva…

A Systematic Search for Optical Outbursts in IPs Using ASAS-SN

Jake Mendelsohn, Simone Scaringi, Martina Veresvarska +1

Cataclysmic variables can show rapid increases in optical flux. Intermediate polars (IPs), a subset with strong magnetic fields that disrupt the inner accretion disc, have been tho…

TESS light curves of two new magnetic cataclysmic variables: an asynchronous polar at the period minimum, and an eclipsing system with a large spin-to-orbit ratio

Colin Littlefield, Krystian Ilkiewicz, Paul A. Mason +2

A recent development in the study of magnetic cataclysmic variable stars (mCVs) has been the identification of asynchronously spinning mCVs with orbital periods <2 h that have sign…

A Catalogue of Orbital Periods of Cataclysmic Variables and Candidates from TESS Observations

Meryem K. Dağ, Simone Scaringi, Kieran O'Brien +21

We present a systematic analysis of 2544 cataclysmic variable systems and related candidates observed by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), with the aim of compiling…

The Inner and Outer Shock Layers of Bow Shocks in Cataclysmic Variables

Krystian Ilkiewicz, Christian Knigge, Simone Scaringi +3

Bow shocks around cataclysmic variables (CVs) have traditionally been identified with a single bright optical arc. This feature has been interpreted as the bow shock formed by the…

A persistent bow shock in a diskless magnetised accreting white dwarf

Krystian Ilkiewicz, Simone Scaringi, Domitilla de Martino +9

Stellar bow shocks are formed when an outflow interacts with the interstellar medium. In white dwarfs accreting from a binary companion, outflows are associated with either strong…

How Mass Flows Through Accretion Discs: A Spectral-Timing Vision for the 2040s

Simone Scaringi, Domitilla de Martino, Anna F. Pala +17

Understanding how mass and angular momentum flow through accretion discs remains a fundamental unsolved problem in astrophysics. Accreting white dwarfs offer an ideal laboratory fo…

Evolution of Spin in the Intermediate Polar CC Sculptoris

John A. Paice, S. Scaringi, N. Castro Segura +6

We report on spin variations in the intermediate polar and cataclysmic variable CC Scl, as seen by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). By studying both the spin perio…

Gaia18aen: First symbiotic star discovered by Gaia

J. Merc, J. Mikołajewska, M. Gromadzki +20

Besides the astrometric mission of the Gaia satellite, its repeated and high-precision measurements serve also as an all-sky photometric transient survey. The sudden brightenings o…
