Physical properties of IP Pegasi: an eclipsing dwarf nova with an unusually cool white dwarf

C. M. Copperwheat, T. R. Marsh, V. S. Dhillon +4

We present high speed photometric observations of the eclipsing dwarf nova IP Peg taken with the triple-beam camera ULTRACAM mounted on the William Herschel Telescope. The primary…

Post-common envelope binaries from SDSS - VII: A catalogue of white dwarf-main sequence binaries

A. Rebassa-Mansergas, B. T. Gaensicke, M. R. Schreiber +2

We present a catalogue of 1602 white dwarf-main sequence binaries (WDMS) from the spectroscopic Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 6 (SDSS DR6). Among these we identify 440 as n…

Data Mining for Dwarf Novae in SDSS, GALEX and Astrometric Catalogues

Patrick Wils, Boris T. Gaensicke, Andrew J. Drake +1

By cross matching blue objects from SDSS with GALEX and the astrometric catalogues USNO-B1.0, GSC2.3 and CMC14, 64 new dwarf nova candidates with one or more observed outbursts hav…

A survey for post common-envelope binary stars using GALEX and SDSS photometry

P. F. L. Maxted, B. T. Gaensicke, M. R. Burleigh +5

We report the first results of our programme to obtain multi-epoch radial velocity measurements of stars with a strong far-UV excess to identify post common-envelope binaries (PCEB…

Analysis of hydrogen-rich magnetic white dwarfs detected in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey

B. Kulebi, S. Jordan, F. Euchner +2

We model the structure of the surface magnetic fields of the hydrogen-rich white dwarfs in the SDSS. We have calculated a grid of state-of-the-art theoretical optical spectra of hy…

The UV-Excess Survey of the Northern Galactic Plane (UVEX)

Paul J. Groot, K. Verbeek, R. Greimel +41

The UV-Excess Survey of the Northern Galactic Plane images a 10x185 degree wide band, centered on the Galactic Equator using the 2.5m Isaac Newton Telescope in four bands (U,g,r,He…
