Investigating the low-flux states in six Intermediate Polars

Ava E. Covington, Aarran W. Shaw, Koji Mukai +30

We present optical photometry of six intermediate polars that exhibit transitions to a low-flux state. For four of these systems, DW Cnc, V515 And, V1223 Sgr and RX J2133.7+5107, w…

Optical Variability Correlated with X-ray Spectral Transition in the Black-Hole Transient ASASSN-18ey = MAXI J1820+070

Keito Niijima, Mariko Kimura, Yasuyuki Wakamatsu +49

How a black hole accretes matter and how this process is regulated are fundamental but unsolved questions in astrophysics. In transient black-hole binaries, a lot of mass stored in…

The Unusual Eruption of the Extragalactic Classical Nova M31N 2017-09a

Christopher Lloyd, Lewis M. Cook, Seiichiro Kiyota +10

M31N 2017-09a is a classical nova and was observed for some 160 days following its initial eruption, during which time it underwent a number of bright secondary outbursts. The ligh…

Short-cadence K2 observations of an accretion-state transition in the polar Tau 4

Colin Littlefield, Peter Garnavich, Paula Szkody +5

The Kepler spacecraft observed a total of only four AM Herculis cataclysmic variable stars during its lifetime. We analyze the short-cadence K2 light curve of one of those systems,…

The Spin-Period History of Intermediate Polars

Joseph Patterson, Enrique de Miguel, Jonathan Kemp +25

We report the detailed history of spin-period changes in five intermediate polars (DQ Herculis, AO Piscium, FO Aquarii, V1223 Sagittarii, and BG Canis Minoris) during the 30-60 yea…

Survey of Period Variations of Superhumps in SU UMa-Type Dwarf Novae. X: The Tenth Year (2017)

Taichi Kato, Keisuke Isogai, Yasuyuki Wakamatsu +67

Continuing the project described by Kato et al. (2009, PASJ, 61, S395, arXiv/0905.1757), we collected times of superhump maxima for 102 SU UMa-type dwarf novae observed mainly duri…
