MLS110213:022733+130617: A new eclipsing polar above the period gap

K. M. G Silva, C. V. Rodrigues, A. S. Oliveira +4

This study confirms MLS110213:022733+130617 as a new eclipsing polar. We performed optical spectroscopic, polarimetric and photometric follow-up of this variable source identified…

MLS110213:022733+130617: A new eclipsing polar above the period gap

K. M. G. Silva, C. V. Rodrigues, A. S. Oliveira +4

We present new data that confirm MLS110213:022733+130617 as a new eclipsing polar. Some system properties were estimated.

Optical Polarimetry and modeling of polars observed in OPD/LNA in the period 2010-2012

K. M. G. Silva, C. V. Rodrigues, J. E. R. Costa +3

In this work, we present the first results of a study of a new sample of 7 polar candidates from polarimetric data obtained at the Pico dos Dias / LNA observatory. From the four po…

Stokes imaging of AM Her systems using 3D inhomogeneous models-II. Modelling X-ray and optical data of CP Tucanae

K. M. G. Silva, C. V. Rodrigues, J. E. R. Costa +3

The viewing geometry of the polar CP Tuc that better explains its optical and X-ray light curves is controversial. Previous modelling of white-light polarimetric data considered th…

SPARC4: A Simultaneous Polarimeter and Rapid Camera in 4 Bands

C. V. Rodrigues, F. J. Jablonski, K. Taylor +13

We present the basic concept of a new astronomical instrument: SPARC4 - Simultaneous Polarimeter and Rapid Camera in 4 bands. SPARC4 combines in one instrument: (i) photometric and…

Stokes imaging of AM Her systems using 3D inhomogeneous models - I. Description of the code and an application to V834 Cen

J. E. R. Costa, C. V. Rodrigues

Polars (or AM Her systems) are cataclysmic variables without a disc due to the strong magnetic field of the white dwarf. Most of their emission comes from the region where the accr…
