SRGA J115215.0510656: an unusual long-period eclipsing dwarf nova with disc wind signatures
Nikita Rawat, David A. H. Buckley, John R. Thorstensen +9
We present the first detailed optical study of the cataclysmic variable SRGA J115215.0510656, based on new time-resolved photometric and spectroscopic observations complemented…
Revisiting the Evidence for Double Sequences of Blue Straggler Stars in Globular Clusters
Gourav Kumawat, Craig O. Heinke, Alison Sills +5
Blue straggler stars (BSSs) are believed to form through mass transfer in binary systems or stellar collisions. The reported presence of double BSS sequences in some globular clust…
A Catalogue of Orbital Periods of Cataclysmic Variables and Candidates from TESS Observations
Meryem K. DaÄ, Simone Scaringi, Kieran O'Brien +21
We present a systematic analysis of 2544 cataclysmic variable systems and related candidates observed by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), with the aim of compiling…
The evolutionary history of ultra-compact accreting binaries. I. Chemical abundances and formation channel of the eclipsing AM CVn system ZTF J225237.05-051917.4 from HST spectroscopy
W. Yu, A. F. Pala, T. Kupfer +33
AM Canum Venaticorum (AM CVn) stars are ultra-compact binary systems composed of a white dwarf (WD) primary accreting from a H-deficient donor. They are important as potential prog…
Wobbling around the clock: magnetically-driven quasi-periodic oscillations in pulsating ultraluminous X-ray sources
M. Veresvarska, M. Imbrogno, R. Amato +8
Ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) are X-ray binary systems containing an accreting neutron star (NS) or black hole emitting at luminosities above the Eddington limit of a $10M_{\o…
DW Cnc: a micronova with a negative superhump and a flickering spin
M. Veresvarska, S. Scaringi, C. Littlefield +15
Magnetic accreting white dwarfs in cataclysmic variables have been known to show bursts driven by different physical mechanisms; however, the burst occurrence is much rarer than in…
