Parallax and Distance Estimates for Twelve Cataclysmic Variable Stars
J. R. Thorstensen, S. Lepine, M. Shara
We report parallax and distance estimates for twelve more cataclysmic binaries and related objects observed with the 2.4m Hiltner telescope at MDM Observatory. The final parallax a…
The Rapidly Flaring Afterglow of the Very Bright and Energetic GRB 070125
Adria C. Updike, Joshua B. Haislip, Melissa C. Nysewander +52
We report on multi-wavelength observations, ranging from the X-ray to radio wave bands, of the IPN-localized gamma-ray burst GRB 070125. Spectroscopic observations reveal the prese…
SDSS 1507+02: A Halo Cataclysmic Variable?
J. Patterson, J. R. Thorstensen, C. Knigge
We report a photometric and spectroscopic study of the peculiar cataclysmic variable SDSS 1507+52. The star shows very deep eclipses on the 67 minute orbital period, and those ecli…
The WEBT Campaign on the Blazar 3C279 in 2006
M. Boettcher
The quasar 3C279 was the target of an extensive multiwavelength monitoring campaign from January through April 2006, including an optical-IR-radio monitoring campaign by the Whole…
The Unusual Cataclysmic Binary Star RBS 0490 and the Space Density of Cataclysmics
John R. Thorstensen, Sebastien Lepine, Michael Shara
RBS (Rosat Bright Source) 0490 is a cataclysmic variable star (CV) with unusually strong emission lines. The strength of the emission lines led to a suggestion that the object is i…
The mysterious nature of HS2331+3905
S. Araujo-Betancor, B. T. Gaensicke, H. -J. Hagen +5
We report the discovery of one unique cataclysmic variable drawn from the Hamburg Quasar Survey, HS2331+3905. Follow-up observations obtained over three years unveiled a very unusu…
