Superhumps in Cataclysmic Binaries. XXIV. Twenty More Dwarf Novae

J. Patterson, J. Thorstensen, J. Kemp +23

We report precise measures of the orbital and superhump period in twenty more dwarf novae. For ten stars, we report new and confirmed spectroscopic periods - signifying the orbital…

X-ray Variability of the Magnetic Cataclysmic Variable V1432 Aql and the Seyfert Galaxy NGC 6814

K. Mukai, C. Hellier, G. Madejski +2

V1432 Aquilae (=RX J1940.2-1025) is the X-ray bright, eclipsing magnetic cataclysmic variable ~37' away from the Seyfert galaxy, NGC 6814. Due to a 0.3% difference between the orbi…

The remarkable rapid X-ray, ultraviolet, optical, and IR variability in the black hole XTE J1118+480

R. I. Hynes, C. A. Haswell, W. Cui +6

The transient black hole binary XTE J1118+480 exhibited dramatic rapid variability at all wavelengths which were suitably observed during its 2000 April-July outburst. We examine t…

FS Aur - a new class of Cataclysmic Variables or the missing link between Intermediate Polars and SW Sex objects?

G. Tovmassian, S. Zharikov, R. Michel +6

FS Aur is a known dwarf nova with an orbital period of about 85.7 minutes. It has been assumed to be a member of the SU UMa subclass of cataclysmic variables (CVs), but previous se…

The 2001 Superoutburst of WZ Sagittae

J. Patterson, G. Masi, M. Richmond +25

We report the results of a worldwide campaign to observe WZ Sagittae during its 2001 superoutburst. After a 23-year slumber at V=15.5, the star rose within 2 days to a peak brightn…

Steps toward Determination of the Size and Structure of the Broad-Line Region in Active Galactic Nuclei. XII. Ground-Based Monitoring of 3C 390.3

M. Dietrich, B. M. Peterson, P. Albrecht

Results of a ground-based optical monitoring campaign on 3C 390.3 in 1994-95 are presented. The broad-band fluxes (B, V, R, and I), the spectrophotometric optical continuum flux F(…
