Hubble Space Telescope STIS Spectroscopy of Long Period Dwarf Novae in Quiescence
E. M. Sion, B. T. Gaensicke, K. S. Long +5
We present the results of a synthetic spectral analysis of HST STIS spectra of five long period dwarf novae obtained during their quiescence to determine the properties of their wh…
A brown dwarf mass donor in an accreting binary
S. P. Littlefair, V. S. Dhillon, T. R. Marsh +3
A long standing and unverified prediction of binary star evolution theory is the existence of a population of white dwarfs accreting from sub-stellar donor stars. Such systems ough…
HST/STIS Spectroscopy and Modeling of the Long Term Cooling of WZ Sagittae following the July 2001 Outburst
P. Godon, E. M. Sion, F. Cheng +3
We present the last HST/STIS E140M FUV spectrum (1150-1725A) of the dwarf nova (DN) WZ Sge, obtained in July 2004, 3 years following the early superoutburst of July 2001. Single wh…
Spectroscopy of the candidate pre-CV LTT 560
C. Tappert, B. T. Gaensicke, R. E. Mennickent +1
We present preliminary results on spectroscopic data of the candidate pre-cataclysmic variable LTT 560. A fit to the flux-calibrated spectrum reveals the temperature of the white-d…
FUSE and HST/STIS far-ultraviolet observations of AM Herculis in an extended low state
B. T. Gaensicke, K. S. Long, M. A. Barstow +1
We have obtained FUSE and HST/STIS time-resolved spectroscopy of the polar AM Herculis during a deep low state. The spectra are entirely dominated by the emission of the white dwar…
Ultraviolet studies of interacting binaries
B. T. Gaensicke, D. de Martino, T. R. Marsh +4
Interacting Binaries consist of a variety of stellar objects in different stages of evolution and those containing accreting compact objects still represent a major challenge to ou…
