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…
IM Normae: The Death Spiral of a Cataclysmic Variable?
Joseph Patterson, Jonathan Kemp, Berto Monard +18
We present a study of the orbital light curves of the recurrent nova IM Normae since its 2002 outburst. The broad "eclipses" recur with a 2.46 hour period, which increases on a tim…
Breaking the habit - the peculiar 2016 eruption of the unique recurrent nova M31N 2008-12a
M. Henze, M. J. Darnley, S. C. Williams +70
Since its discovery in 2008, the Andromeda galaxy nova M31N 2008-12a has been observed in eruption every single year. This unprecedented frequency indicates an extreme object, with…
Orbital Period Changes in WZ Sagittae
Joseph Patterson, Geoffrey Stone, Jonathan Kemp +19
We report a long-term (1961-2017) study of the eclipse times in the dwarf nova WZ Sagittae, in an effort to learn its rate of orbital-period change. Some wiggles with a time scale…
IGR J19552+0044: A new asynchronous short period polar: "Filling the gap between intermediate and ordinary polars"
G. Tovmassian, D. Gonzalez-Buitrago, J. Thorstensen +23
Based on XMM--Newton X-ray observations IGR J19552+0044 appears to be either a pre-polar or an asynchronous polar. We conducted follow-up optical observations to identify the sourc…
Survey of Period Variations of Superhumps in SU UMa-Type Dwarf Novae. IX: The Ninth Year (2016-2017)
Taichi Kato, Keisuke Isogai, Franz-Josef Hambsch +76
Continuing the project described by Kato et al. (2009, arXiv:0905.1757), we collected times of superhump maxima for 127 SU UMa-type dwarf novae observed mainly during the 2016--201…
