The Paschen Jump as a Diagnostic of the Diffuse Nebular Continuum Emission in Active Galactic Nuclei

Hengxiao Guo, Aaron J. Barth, Kirk T. Korista +17

Photoionization modeling of active galactic nuclei (AGN) predicts that diffuse continuum (DC) emission from the broad-line region makes a substantial contribution to the total cont…

New radial velocity observations of AH Her: evidence for material outside the tidal radius

J. Echevarría, J. V. Hernández Santisteban, O. Segura Montero +7

Spectroscopic observations of AH Herculis during a deep quiescent state are put forward. We found the object in a rare long minima, allowing us to derive accurately the semi-amplit…

Quest for the Donor Star in the Magnetic Precataclysmic Variable V1082 Sgr

G. Tovmassian, J. F. Gonzalez, M. -S. Hernandez +3

We obtained high-resolution spectra and multicolor photometry of V1082 Sgr to study the donor star in this 20.8 hr orbital period binary, which is assumed to be a detached system.…

The First Swift Intensive AGN Accretion Disk Reverberation Mapping Survey

R. Edelson, J. Gelbord, E. Cackett +32

Swift intensive accretion disk reverberation mapping of four AGN yielded light curves sampled 200-350 times in 0.3-10 keV X-ray and six UV/optical bands. Uniform reduction an…

From outburst to quiescence: spectroscopic evolution of V1838 Aql imbedded in a bow-shock nebula

J. V. Hernández Santisteban, J. Echevarría, S. Zharikov +15

We analyse new optical spectroscopic, direct-image and X-ray observations of the recently discovered a high proper motion cataclysmic variable V1838 Aql. The data were obtained dur…

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…
