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…
Long-term eclipse timing of white dwarf binaries: an observational hint of a magnetic mechanism at work
M. C. P. Bours, T. R. Marsh, S. G. Parsons +18
We present a long-term programme for timing the eclipses of white dwarfs in close binaries to measure apparent and/or real variations in their orbital periods. Our programme includ…
