ASASSN-24fw: An 8-month long, 4.1 mag, optically achromatic and polarized dimming event
R. Forés-Toribio, B. JoHantgen, C. S. Kochanek +20
We discuss ASASSN-24fw, a 13th-magnitude star that optically faded by mag starting in September 2024 after over a decade of quiescence in ASAS-SN. The dimmimg…
The V471 Tauri System: A Multi-datatype Probe
Todd R. Vaccaro, Robert E. Wilson, Walter Van Hamme +1
V471 Tauri, a white dwarf--red dwarf eclipsing binary in the Hyades, is well known for stimulating development of common envelope theory, whereby novae and other cataclysmic variab…
The double degenerate system NLTT 11748
A. Kawka, S. Vennes, T. R. Vaccaro
We show that the extremely low-mass white dwarf NLTT 11748 (0.17 M_sun) is in a close binary with a fainter companion. We obtained a series of radial velocity measurements of the l…
The double degenerate LP400-22 revisited
S. Vennes, A. Kawka, T. R. Vaccaro +1
We re-examine the properties of the high-velocity and extremely low mass white dwarf LP 400-22 and its close companion. Based on an extended observation timeline we determined a bi…
Distance to U Pegasi by the DDE Algorithm
T. R. Vaccaro, Dirk Terrell, R. E. Wilson
A distance is found for the W UMa type binary U Pegasi, with a newly modified version of the Wilson-Devinney program (W-D) that makes use of the direct distance estimation (DDE) al…
