HST FUV spectroscopy of the short orbital period recurrent nova CI Aql: Implications for white dwarf mass evolution

Edward M. Sion, R. E. Wilson, Patrick Godon +3

An HST COS Far UV spectrum (1170 A to 1800 A) was obtained for the short orbital period recurrent novae (T Pyxidis subclass), CI Aquilae. CI Aql is the only classical CV known to h…

Lobe Overflow as the Likely Cause of Pericenter Outburst in an SMBH Orbiter

R. E. Wilson, E. J. Devinney

A very large lobe overflow event is suggested to explain the brightening observed in K band at pericenter passage of the star known as S2 that orbits the Galaxy's supermass…

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…

Fully Automated Approaches to Analyze Large-Scale Astronomy Survey Data

A. Prsa, E. F. Guinan, E. J. Devinney +15

Observational astronomy has changed drastically in the last decade: manually driven target-by-target instruments have been replaced by fully automated robotic telescopes. Data acqu…

Photometric Solutions for Detached Eclipsing Binaries: selection of ideal distance indicators in the SMC

J. S. B. Wyithe, R. E. Wilson

Detached eclipsing binary stars provide a robust one-step distance determination to nearby galaxies. As a by-product of Galactic microlensing searches, catalogs of thousands of var…
