Scientific Validation of the SPARC4 Pipeline: Multi-band Imaging, Polarimetry, and Photometric Time Series for Improved Characterization of Transiting Exoplanets
Eder Martioli, Claudia V. Rodrigues, Julio C. N. Campagnolo +14
High-cadence multi-band imaging and polarimetry have important scientific applications in astronomy. Observations of transits of exoplanets are a particular application that requir…
Detection of the white-dwarf spin of V1082 Sgr
I. J. Lima, G. Tovmassian, C. V. Rodrigues +9
We report on the discovery of circular polarization modulated with a period of 1.943 +- 0.002 h in the cataclysmic variable V1082 Sgr. These findings unambiguously reveal the rotat…
SPARC4 control system
Denis Bernardes, Orlando Verducci Junior, Francisco Rodrigues +15
SPARC4 is a new astronomical instrument developed entirely by Brazilian institutions, currently installed on the 1.6-m Perkin-Elmer telescope of the Pico dos Dias Observatory. It a…
The contact binary system TYC 7275-1968-1 as seen by optical, UV and X-ray observations
Isabel J. Lima, Ana C. Mattiuci, G. Juan M. Luna +4
We present an analysis of publicly available X-ray and optical observations of TYC 7275-1968-1, a contact binary, red nova progenitor candidate. The long optical time series of ASA…
