HST and Optical Observations of Three Pulsating Accreting White Dwarfs in Cataclysmic Variables
Paula Szkody, Anjum Mukadam, Boris T. Gaensicke +8
Ultraviolet observations using the Solar Blind Channel on the Hubble Space Telescope provide light curves and low resolution spectra of three pulsating white dwarfs in the cataclys…
Two Additions to the New Class of Low Accretion-Rate Magnetic Binaries
Gary D. Schmidt, Paula Szkody, Arne Henden +4
Two new magnetic white dwarf accretion binaries with extremely low mass-transfer rates have been discovered in the course of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Measured magnetic fields…
The United Nations Basic Space Science Initiative: The TRIPOD concept
M. Kitamura, D. Wentzel, A. A. Henden +8
Since 1990, the United Nations is annually holding a workshop on basic space science for the benefit of the worldwide development of astronomy. Additional to the scientific benefit…
Constraints on an optical afterglow and on supernova light following the short burst GRB 050813
P. Ferrero, S. F. Sanchez, D. A. Kann +18
We report early follow-up observations of the error box of the short burst 050813 using the telescopes at Calar Alto and at Observatorio Sierra Nevada (OSN), followed by deep VLT/F…
GRB 051028: an intrinsically faint GRB at high redshift?
A. J. Castro-Tirado, M. Jelinek, S. B. Pandey +16
We present multiwavelength observations of the gamma-ray burst GRB 051028 detected by HETE-2 in order to derive its afterglow emission parameters and to determine the reason for it…
Characterizing Three Candidate Magnetic CVs from SDSS: XMM-Newton and Optical Follow-up Observations
Lee Homer, Paula Szkody, Arne Henden +4
In the latest in our series of papers on XMM-Newton and ground-based optical follow-up of new candidate magnetic cataclysmic variables (mCVs) found in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey,…
