RX J0501.7-0359: a new ROSAT discovered eclipsing polar in the period gap
Vadim Burwitz, Klaus Reinsch, Klaus Beuermann +1
RXJ 0501.7-0359 is a new V ~ 17 mag eclipsing polar discovered during the ROSAT all-sky survey (RASS). Extensive follow-up observations at X-ray (pointed ROSAT PSPC and HRI observa…
Observing the Accretion Stream in Polars
Jens Kube, Boris T. Gaensicke, Klaus Beuermann
We have developed a 3D computer model of polars which includes the accretion stream, the accretion column, the secondary star, and the white dwarf. Each component is represented by…
Are the red dwarfs in cataclysmic variables main-sequence stars?
K. Beuermann, I. Baraffe, U. Kolb +1
We show that the secondaries in short-period cataclysmic variables with orbital periods hr are close to the solar-abundance main sequence defined by single field stars. In…
HST/GHRS observations of AM Herculis
B. T. Gaensicke, D. W. Hoard, K. Beuermann +2
We present phase-resolved spectroscopy of AM Herculis obtained with the HST/GHRS when the system was in a high state. The ultraviolet light curve shows a quasi-sinusoidal modulatio…
The X-ray emission of the polar BL Hydri
G. Matt, R. Barcaroli, T. Belloni +8
We report on the analysis of the ASCA and BeppoSAX X-ray observations of the polar system BL Hyi. Emission from both poles is apparent in both observations; the emission from the s…
BeppoSAX observations of the long period polar system V1309 Ori
D. de Martino, R. Barcaroli, G. Matt +8
We present BeppoSAX observations of the peculiar long period polar system V1309 Ori (RXJ0515.6+0105). The source was detected simultaneously at soft and, for the first time, at har…
