Revisiting the extremely long-period cataclysmic variables V479 Andromedae and V1082 Sagitarii
Gagik Tovmassian, Diogo Belloni, Anna F. Pala +56
The overwhelming majority of CVs have orbital periods shorter than 10 hr. However, a few have much longer periods, and their formation and existence pose challenges for the CV evol…
ASASSN-14dx: A cataclysmic variable harbouring a massive pulsating white dwarf
Pasi Hakala, Ingrid Pelisoli, Boris T. Gaensicke +5
We present the results of our study of ASASSN-14dx, a previously known but poorly characterised cataclysmic variable (CV). The source was observed as part of an ongoing high-time-r…
V498 Hya, a new candidate for a period bouncer Cataclysmic Variable
Gagik Tovmassian, Keith Inight, Anna Francesca Pala +5
V498 Hya (SDSS J084555.07+033929.2) was identified as a short-period cataclysmic variable (CV) by the Catalina Real-Time Transient Survey (CRTS) in 2008. The superhump period was m…
The Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST) Science White Paper
Vincenzo Mainieri, Richard I. Anderson, Jarle Brinchmann +214
The Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST) is proposed as a new facility dedicated to the efficient delivery of spectroscopic surveys. This white paper summarises the initial con…
Structure of the accretion flow of IX Velorum as revealed by high-resolution spectroscopy
Jan Kára, Linda Schmidtobreick, Anna Francesca Pala +1
Context: Several high-mass transfer cataclysmic variables show evidence for outflow from the system, which could play an important role in their evolution. We investigate the syste…
Accurate mass-radius ratios for Hyades white dwarfs
L. Pasquini, A. F. Pala, M. Salaris +4
We use the ESPRESSO spectrograph at the Very Large Telescope to measure velocity shifts and gravitational redshifts of eight bona fide Hyades white dwarfs, with an accuracy better…
