SPECULATE: A synthetic spectral library, emulator and fitting package for accretion disc winds -- Infrastructure and application to CVs

Austen G. W. Wallis, Christian Knigge, James H. Matthews +6

Disc winds are critical components of accreting astrophysical systems and their observations can yield a wide variety of spectral line profiles. Yet, inferring disc wind parameters…

Discovery of a second-generation planet candidate accreting onto a white dwarf

Jamie T. Williams, Boris T. Gänsicke, Nicholas C. Stone +10

Many white dwarfs accrete the debris of disrupted planetary bodies, detected in the form of metal-enrichment in their atmospheres, dusty or gaseous circumstellar discs, and photome…

The Twentieth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: First All-Sky BOSS Spectra, eROSITA-SDSS-V Mapper Coordinated Observations, and a Preview of the Local Volume Mapper

SDSS Collaboration, Mojgan Aghakhanloo, David Aguilar +273

This paper presents the twentieth data release (DR20) from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, the third data release of its fifth generation (SDSS-V). SDSS-V is a panoptic spectroscopy…

Radiation-ionization hydrodynamic simulations of AGN line-driven winds lead to transient shielding and BAL/UFO signatures

Nicolas Scepi, Christian Knigge, Amin Mosallanezhad +4

Disc winds from active galactic nuclei (AGN) can be launched by radiation pressure acting on spectral lines. However, launching a line-driven wind in the X-ray rich environment of…

The critical role of clumping in line-driven disc winds

Amin Mosallanezhad, Christian Knigge, Nicolas Scepi +4

Radiation pressure on spectral lines is a promising mechanism for powering disc winds from accreting white dwarfs (AWDs) and active galactic nuclei (AGN). However, in radiation-hyd…

Revisiting the extremely long-period cataclysmic variables V479 Andromedae and V1082 Sagitarii

Gagik Tovmassian, Diogo Belloni, Anna F. Pala +56

The overwhelming majority of CVs have orbital periods shorter than 10 hr. However, a few have much longer periods, and their formation and existence pose challenges for the CV evol…
