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…

Effective Temperatures of Cataclysmic Variable White Dwarfs as a Probe of their Evolution

A. F. Pala, B. T. Gänsicke, D. Townsley +29

We present HST spectroscopy for 45 cataclysmic variables (CVs), observed with HST/COS and HST/STIS. For 36 CVs, the white dwarf is recognisable through its broad Ly absorption p…

Return of the King: Time-Series Photometry of FO Aquarii's Initial Recovery from its Unprecedented 2016 Low State

Colin Littlefield, Peter Garnavich, Mark R. Kennedy +28

In 2016 May, the intermediate polar FO~Aqr was detected in a low state for the first time in its observational history. We report time-resolved photometry of the system during its…
