Multi-epoch Spectroscopy of IY UMa: Quiescence, Rise, Normal Outburst & Superoutburst
Daniel J. Rolfe, Carole A. Haswell, Timothy M. C. Abbott +3
We exploit rare observations covering the time before and during a normal outburst in the deeply-eclipsing SU UMa system IY UMa to study the dramatic changes in the accretion flow…
Current Status of the SuperWASP Project
D. J. Christian, D. L. Pollacco, W. I. Clarkson +16
We present the current status of the SuperWASP project, a Wide Angle Search for Planets. SuperWASP consists of up to 8 individual cameras using ultra-wide field lenses backed by hi…
Optical spectroscopy of flares from the black hole X-ray transient A0620-00 in quiescence
T. Shahbaz, R. I. Hynes, P. A. Charles +5
We present a time-resolved spectrophotometric study of the optical variability in the quiescent soft X-ray transient A0620-00. Superimposed on the double-humped continuum lightcurv…
Correlated X-ray and Optical Variability in V404 Cyg in Quiescence
R. I. Hynes, P. A. Charles, M. R. Garcia +11
We report simultaneous X-ray and optical observations of V404 Cyg in quiescence. The X-ray flux varied dramatically by a factor of >20 during a 60ks observation. X-ray variations w…
Hydrodynamic modelling of accretion flows
J. R. Murray, M. R. Truss, S. B. Foulkes +2
In the proceedings of this, and of several recent close binary conferences, there have been several contributions describing smoothed particle hydrodynamics simulations of accretio…
Simulations of spectral lines from an eccentric precessing accretion disc
S. B. Foulkes, C. A. Haswell, J. R. Murray +1
Two dimensional SPH simulations of a precessing accretion disc in a q=0.1 binary system (such as XTE J1118+480) reveal complex and continuously varying shape, kinematics, and dissi…
