GOTO065054+593624: a 8.5 mag amplitude dwarf nova identified in real time via Kilonova Seekers
T. L. Killestein, G. Ramsay, M. Kennedy +62
Dwarf novae are astrophysical laboratories for probing the nature of accretion, binary mass transfer, and binary evolution -- yet their diverse observational characteristics contin…
Constraining the Evolution of Cataclysmic Variables via the Masses and Accretion Rates of their Underlying White Dwarfs
A. F. Pala, B. T. Gänsicke, D. Belloni +28
We report on the masses (), effective temperatures () and secular mean accretion rates () of 43 cataclysmic variable (CV) wh…
Evidence for mass accretion driven by spiral shocks onto the white dwarf in SDSS J123813.73-033933.0
A. F. Pala, B. T. Gänsicke, T. R. Marsh +21
We present high-time-resolution photometry and phase-resolved spectroscopy of the short-period () cataclysmic variable SDSS J123813.73-033933.…
Breaking the habit - the peculiar 2016 eruption of the unique recurrent nova M31N 2008-12a
M. Henze, M. J. Darnley, S. C. Williams +70
Since its discovery in 2008, the Andromeda galaxy nova M31N 2008-12a has been observed in eruption every single year. This unprecedented frequency indicates an extreme object, with…
Effective Temperatures of Cataclysmic Variable White Dwarfs as a Probe of their Evolution
A. F. Pala, B. T. Gänsicke, D. Townsley +29
We present HST spectroscopy for 45 cataclysmic variables (CVs), observed with HST/COS and HST/STIS. For 36 CVs, the white dwarf is recognisable through its broad Ly absorption p…
Survey of Period Variations of Superhumps in SU UMa-Type Dwarf Novae. VIII: The Eighth Year (2015-2016)
Taichi Kato, Franz-Josef Hambsch, Berto Monard +75
Continuing the project described by Kato et al. (2009, arXiv:0905.1757), we collected times of superhump maxima for 128 SU UMa-type dwarf novae observed mainly during the 2015-2016…
