The Orbital Period vs. Absolute Magnitude Relationship of Intermediate Polars: Implications for Low States and Outbursts
Koji Mukai, Magaretha L. Pretorius
Recent advances in time-domain astronomy have led to fresh observational insights into intermediate polars, a subtype of magnetic cataclysmic variables generally accreting via a pa…
Gaia Photometric Science Alerts
S. T. Hodgkin, D. L. Harrison, E. Breedt +108
Since July 2014, the Gaia mission has been engaged in a high-spatial-resolution, time-resolved, precise, accurate astrometric, and photometric survey of the entire sky. Aims: We pr…
Radio and optical observations of the possible AE Aqr twin, LAMOST J024048.51+195226.9
M. L. Pretorius, D. M. Hewitt, P. A. Woudt +8
Thorstensen (2020) recently argued that the cataclysmic variable (CV) LAMOST J024048.51+195226.9 may be a twin to the unique magnetic propeller system AE Aqr. If this is the case,…
Bow-shocks, nova shells, disc winds and tilted discs: The Nova-Like V341 Ara Has It All
N. Castro Segura, C. Knigge, J. A. Acosta-Pulido +21
V341 Ara was recently recognised as one of the closest (d ~ 150 pc) and brightest (V~ 10) nova-like cataclysmic variables. This unique system is surrounded by a bright emission neb…
A MeerKAT Survey of Nearby Novalike Cataclysmic Variables
D. M. Hewitt, M. L. Pretorius, P. A. Woudt +17
We present the results of MeerKAT radio observations of eleven nearby novalike cataclysmic variables. We have detected radio emission from IM Eri, RW Sex, V3885 Sgr and V603 Aql. W…
Nine-hour X-ray quasi-periodic eruptions from a low-mass black hole galactic nucleus
G. Miniutti, R. D. Saxton, M. Giustini +11
In the past two decades, high amplitude electromagnetic outbursts have been detected from dormant galaxies and often attributed to the tidal disruption of a star by the central bla…
