Constraining the Evolution of Cataclysmic Variables via the Masses and Accretion Rates of their Underlying White Dwarfs
A. F. Pala, B. T. Gänsicke, D. Belloni +28
We report on the masses (), effective temperatures () and secular mean accretion rates () of 43 cataclysmic variable (CV) wh…
Coherent brightness modulations in the dwarf nova AT Cancri
Albert Bruch, James Boardman, Lewis M. Cook +6
Light curves of the Z Cam type dwarf nova AT Cnc observed during standstill in 2016 and 2018 are analyzed. On the time scale of hours, previous reports on periodicities, in particu…
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…
A 16-Year Photometric Campaign on the Eclipsing Novalike Variable DW Ursae Majoris
D. R. S. Boyd, E. de Miguel, J. Patterson +29
We present an analysis of photometric observations of the eclipsing novalike variable DW UMa made by the CBA consortium between 1999 and 2015. Analysis of 372 new and 260 previousl…
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…
GW Librae: A unique laboratory for pulsations in an accreting white dwarf
O. Toloza, B. T. Gaensicke, J. J. Hermes +22
Non-radial pulsations have been identified in a number of accreting white dwarfs in cataclysmic variables. These stars offer insight into the excitation of pulsation modes in atmos…
Accretion-disc precession in UX Ursae Majoris
E. de Miguel, J. Patterson, D. Cejudo +25
We report the results of a long campaign of time-series photometry on the nova-like variable UX Ursae Majoris during 2015. It spanned 150 nights, with ~1800 hours of coverage on 12…
Periodic Variations in the Residual Eclipse Flux and Eclipse Timings of Asynchronous Polar V1432 Aql: Evidence of a Shifting Threading Region
Colin Littlefield, Koji Mukai, Ryan Cain +8
We report the results of a twenty-eight-month photometric campaign studying V1432 Aql, the only known eclipsing, asynchronous polar. Our data show that both the residual eclipse fl…
The asynchronous polar V1432 Aquilae and its path back to synchronism
David Boyd, Joseph Patterson, William Allen +23
V1432 Aquilae is the only known eclipsing asynchronous polar. In this respect it is unique and therefore merits our attention. We report the results of a 15-year campaign by the gl…
Modern observations of Hubble's first-discovered Cepheid in M31
M. Templeton, A. Henden, W. Goff +9
We present a modern ephemeris and modern light curve of the first-discovered Cepheid variable in M31, Edwin Hubble's M31-V1. Observers of the American Association of Variable Star…
