New X-ray observations of the old nova CP Puppis and of the more recent nova V351 Pup
M. Orio, K. Mukai, A. Bianchini +2
We present X-ray observations of the field containing Nova Puppis 1942 (CP Pup) and Nova Puppis 1991 (V351 Pup), done with ASCA in 1998, and with XMM-Newton in 2005. The X-ray and…
Do magnetic fields contribute to the dynamical stability of the secondaries of CVs against mass transfer?
A. Bianchini, F. Tamburini, P. E. Johnson
We show the presence of CVs with orbital periods in the range 3.5-7 h and mass ratios q=M2/M1 above the critical values for dynamically stable mass transfer. We explore whether the…
FrogEye, the Quantum Coronagraphic mask. The Photon Orbital Angular Momentum and its applications to Astronomy
F. Tamburini, G. Umbriaco, G. Anzolin +2
We propose to realize an optical device based on the properties of photon orbital angular momentum (POAM) to detect the presence of closeby faint companions in double systems using…
Polarimetric evolution of V838 Mon
S. Desidera, E. Giro, U. Munari +6
We present the results of our polarimetric and spectropolarimetric monitoring of V838 Monocerotis, performed at Asiago and Crimean observatories during and after the multiple outbu…
Floquet analysis of disk instabilities and superhumps in Cataclysmic Variables
Fabrizio Tamburini, Bruce Bassett, Antonio Bianchini +1
The paper has been deeply reviewed and compeltely re-written.
Is the old nova RW UMi (1956) an intermediate polar?
A. Bianchini, C. Tappert, H. Osborne +2
From photometric observations of the old nova RW UMi (1956) we have discovered the presence of five sub-orbital periodicities. The longest period, P1 = 54.4 min, always observed, c…
Optical observations of the black hole candidate XTE J1550-564 during the Sep/Oct 1998 outburst
C. Sanchez-Fernandez, A. J. Castro-Tirado, H. W. Duerbeck +11
We report here optical observations during the September/October 1998 outburst of the black hole candidate XTE J1550-564. CCD photometry was obtained for the optical counterpart wi…
