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…
