First Results from the Catalina Real-time Transient Survey
A. J. Drake, S. G. Djorgovski, A. Mahabal +10
We report on the results from the first six months of the Catalina Real-time Transient Survey (CRTS). In order to search for optical transients with timescales of minutes to years,…
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…
Superhumps in Cataclysmic Binaries. XXIII. V442 Ophiuchi and RX J1643.7+3402
Joseph Patterson, William Fenton, John Thorstensen +15
We report the results of long observing campaigns on two novalike variables: V442 Ophiuchi and RX J1643.7+3402. These stars have high-excitation spectra, complex line profiles sign…
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…
Superhumps in Cataclysmic Binaries. XXII. 1RXS J232953.9+062814
David Skillman, Thomas Krajci, Edward Beshore +7
We report photometry of 1RXS J232953.9+062814, a recently discovered dwarf nova with a remarkably short 64.2-minute orbital period. In quiescence, the star's light curve is that of…
