Jodrell Bank and the British Astronomical Association: The Making of a Generation of Scientists
Jeremy Shears
The discovery of radar echoes from meteor trains at Jodrell Bank in 1945 marked the beginning of a new era in meteor astronomy and laid the foundations for the subsequent developme…
Could John Ellard Gore have pre-empted the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram?
Jeremy Shears
John Ellard Gore (1845-1910) was an Irish amateur astronomer, prolific science writer and civil engineer. He was an inaugural member of the British Astronomical Association when it…
The Birth of Radar Meteor Astronomy at Jodrell Bank: The Collaboration between Bernard Lovell and Manning Prentice
Jeremy Shears
The discovery of radar echoes from meteor trains at Jodrell Bank in December 1945 heralded the beginning of a new era in meteor astronomy. This paper examines the early collaborati…
Revisiting the extremely long-period cataclysmic variables V479 Andromedae and V1082 Sagitarii
Gagik Tovmassian, Diogo Belloni, Anna F. Pala +56
The overwhelming majority of CVs have orbital periods shorter than 10 hr. However, a few have much longer periods, and their formation and existence pose challenges for the CV evol…
TESS photometry of the nova eruption in V606 Vul: asymmetric photosphere and multiple ejections?
Kirill V. Sokolovsky, Elias Aydi, Konstantin Malanchev +70
Lightcurves of many classical novae deviate from the canonical "fast rise - smooth decline" pattern and display complex variability behavior. We present the first TESS-space-photom…
Outburst Behaviour of the Dwarf Nova CG Draconis
Maxim Usatov, Jeremy Shears
During the British Astronomical Association (BAA) 2022 campaign, 27436 photometric observations of the dwarf nova (DN) CG Draconis were made, with 106 eclipses recorded. This work…
