Spectroscopic and Photometric Periods of Six Ultracompact Accreting Binaries
Matthew J. Green, Thomas R. Marsh, Philip J. Carter +19
Ultracompact accreting binary systems each consist of a stellar remnant accreting helium-enriched material from a compact donor star. Such binaries include two related sub-classes,…
Testing the white dwarf mass-radius relationship with eclipsing binaries
S. G. Parsons, B. T. Gänsicke, T. R. Marsh +17
We present high precision, model independent, mass and radius measurements for 16 white dwarfs in detached eclipsing binaries and combine these with previously published data to te…
Using large spectroscopic surveys to test the double degenerate model for Type Ia supernovae
E. Breedt, D. Steeghs, T. R. Marsh +10
An observational constraint on the contribution of double degenerates to Type Ia supernovae requires multiple radial velocity measurements of ideally thousands of white dwarfs. Thi…
SDSS J105754.25+275947.5: a period-bounce eclipsing cataclysmic variable with the lowest-mass donor yet measured
M. J. McAllister, S. P. Littlefair, V. S. Dhillon +11
We present high-speed, multicolour photometry of the faint, eclipsing cataclysmic variable (CV) SDSS J105754.25+275947.5. The light from this system is dominated by the white dwarf…
Hunting For Eclipses: High Speed Observations of Cataclysmic Variables
Liam K Hardy, Martin J McAllister, Vik S Dhillon +12
We present new time-resolved photometry of 74 cataclysmic variables (CVs), 47 of which are eclipsing. 13 of these eclipsing systems are newly discovered. For all 47 eclipsing syste…
Using Gaussian processes to model light curves in the presence of flickering: the eclipsing cataclysmic variable ASASSN-14ag
M. J. McAllister, S. P. Littlefair, V. S. Dhillon +10
The majority of cataclysmic variable (CV) stars contain a stochastic noise component in their light curves, commonly referred to as flickering. This can significantly affect the mo…
