The orbital and superhump periods of the deeply eclipsing dwarf nova SDSS J122740.83+513925.9
Jeremy Shears, Steve Brady, Jerry Foote +2
During June 2007 the first confirmed superoutburst of the eclipsing dwarf nova SDSS J122740.83+513925.9 was observed using CCD photometry. The outburst amplitude was at least 4.7 m…
Superhumps in Cataclysmic Binaries. XXV. q_crit, epsilon(q), and Mass-Radius
Joseph Patterson, Jonathan Kemp, David Harvey +17
We report on successes and failures in searching for positive superhumps in cataclysmic variables, and show the superhumping fraction as a function of orbital period. Basically, al…
Superhumps in Cataclysmic Binaries. XXIV. Twenty More Dwarf Novae
J. Patterson, J. Thorstensen, J. Kemp +23
We report precise measures of the orbital and superhump period in twenty more dwarf novae. For ten stars, we report new and confirmed spectroscopic periods - signifying the orbital…
Superhumps in Cataclysmic Binaries. XXIII. V442 Ophiuchi and RX J1643.7+3402
Joseph Patterson, William Fenton, John Thorstensen +15
We report the results of long observing campaigns on two novalike variables: V442 Ophiuchi and RX J1643.7+3402. These stars have high-excitation spectra, complex line profiles sign…
The 2001 Superoutburst of WZ Sagittae
J. Patterson, G. Masi, M. Richmond +25
We report the results of a worldwide campaign to observe WZ Sagittae during its 2001 superoutburst. After a 23-year slumber at V=15.5, the star rose within 2 days to a peak brightn…
