Fe L-Shell Density Diagnostics in Theory and Practice
Christopher W. Mauche, Duane A. Liedahl, Kevin B. Fournier
We provide a discussion of the density and photoexcitation sensitivity of the X-ray spectra of Fe L-shell ions (Fe XVII-Fe XXIV) calculated with the Livermore X-ray Spectral Synthe…
Chandra Observations of WZ Sge in Superoutburst
Peter J. Wheatley, Christopher W. Mauche
We present seven separate Chandra observations of the 2001 superoutburst of WZ Sge. The high-energy outburst was dominated by intense EUV emission lines, which we interpret as boun…
Chandra HETG Spectra of SS Cyg and U Gem in Quiescence and Outburst
Christopher W. Mauche, Peter J. Wheatley, Knox S. Long +2
Chandra HETG spectra of the prototypical dwarf novae SS Cyg and U Gem in quiescence and outburst are presented and discussed. When SS Cyg goes into outburst, it becomes dimmer in h…
Atomic X-Ray Spectra of Accretion Disk Atmospheres in the Kerr Metric
Mario A. Jimenez-Garate, Duane A. Liedahl, Christopher W. Mauche +1
We calculate the atmospheric structure of an accretion disk around a Kerr black hole and obtain its X-ray spectrum, which exhibits prominent atomic transitions under certain circum…
The Radial Velocity and Mass of the White Dwarf of EX Hydrae Measured with Chandra
R. Hoogerwerf, N. S. Brickhouse, C. W. Mauche
We present the first detection of orbital motion in the cataclysmic variable EX Hydrae based on X-ray data from the Chandra X-ray Observatory. The large collecting area of the tele…
Optical, UV, and EUV Oscillations of SS Cygni in Outburst
Christopher W. Mauche
I provide a review of observations in the optical, UV (HST), and EUV (EUVE and Chandra LETG) of the rapid periodic oscillations of nonmagnetic, disk-accreting, high mass-accretion…
