SPH Simulations of Direct Impact Accretion in the Ultracompact AM CVn Binaries
Joshua Dolence, Matt A. Wood, Isaac Silver
The ultracompact binary systems V407 Vul (RX J1914.4+2456) and HM Cnc (RX J0806.3+1527) - a two-member subclass of the AM CVn stars - continue to pique interest because they defy u…
The pulsation modes of the pre-white dwarf PG 1159-035
J. E. S. Costa, S. O. Kepler, D. E. Winget +74
PG 1159-035, a pre-white dwarf with T_eff=140,000 K, is the prototype of both two classes: the PG1159 spectroscopic class and the DOV pulsating class. Previous studies of PG 1159-0…
FITDisk: A Cataclysmic Variable Accretion Disk Demonstration Tool
Matt A. Wood, Josh Dolence, James C. Simpson
We present the software tool FITDisk, a precompiled-binary Windows GUI version of our smoothed particle hydrodynamics cataclysmic variable accretion disk research code. Cataclysmic…
The White Dwarf Luminosity Function: The Shape of Things to Come
T. von Hippel, M. Kilic, J. Munn +10
We describe a new survey for cool white dwarfs that supplements Sloan Digital Sky Survey photometry with USNO proper motions and follow-up spectroscopy. To date we have discovered…
The Everchanging Pulsating White Dwarf GD358
S. O. Kepler, R. E. Nather, D. E. Winget +43
We report 323 hours of nearly uninterrupted time series photometric observations of the DBV star GD 358 acquired with the Whole Earth Telescope (WET) during May 23rd to June 8th, 2…
Superhumps in Cataclysmic Binaries. XXIII. V442 Ophiuchi and RX J1643.7+3402
Joseph Patterson, William Fenton, John Thorstensen +15
We report the results of long observing campaigns on two novalike variables: V442 Ophiuchi and RX J1643.7+3402. These stars have high-excitation spectra, complex line profiles sign…
