Photometric and Spectroscopic Observations of V1280 Sco

Hiroyuki Naito, Sahori Mizoguchi, Akira Arai +4

Photometries of B, V, Rc, Ic, y, J, and Ks bands and low dispersion optical spectroscopic observations of Nova V1280 Sco, started soon after the outburst, are reported. We show tha…

A massive binary black-hole system in OJ287 and a test of general relativity

M. J. Valtonen, H. J. Lehto, K. Nilsson +23

Tests of Einstein's general theory of relativity have mostly been carried out in weak gravitational fields where the space-time curvature effects are first-order deviations from Ne…

Optical light curves of RS Oph (2006) and hydrogen burning turnoff

Izumi Hachisu, Mariko Kato, Seiichiro Kiyota +11

We report a coordinated multi-band photometry of the RS Oph 2006 outburst and highlight the emission line free y-band photometry that shows a mid-plateau phase at y ~ 10.2 mag from…

Discovery of a WZ Sge-Type Dwarf Nova, SDSS J102146.44+234926.3: Unprecedented Infrared Activity during a Rebrightening Phase

M. Uemura, A. Arai, T. Krajci +26

Several SU UMa-type dwarf novae, in particular, WZ Sge-type stars tend to exhibit rebrightenings after superoutbursts. The rebrightening phenomenon is problematic for the disk inst…
