The instantaneous mass accretion rate of novae in quiescence: - an archival ultraviolet optical spectral analysis
Patrick Godon, Edward M. Sion, Tim Naylor +1
Based on archival spectra, we derive the quiescent instantaneous mass transfer rates in novae using synthetic disk spectra generated with tlusty, Gaia parallax-derived distances, a…
High Resolution X-ray Spectroscopy of the Nova-Like Cataclysmic Variable BZ Cam using Chandra HETG: Diagnosis of the ADAF-like (Advective) Hot Flow
Solen Balman, Eric M. Schlegel, Patrick Godon +2
Nova-likes such as BZ Cam are high state Cataclysmic Variables showing hard X-ray emission that can be characterized with advective hot flows in the inner accretion disk. We explor…
The Accelerating Decline of the Mass Transfer Rate in the Recurrent Nova T Pyxidis
P. Godon, E. M. Sion, R. E. Williams +3
The recurrent nova T Pyxidis has erupted six times since 1890, with its last outburst in 2011, and the relatively short recurrence time between classical nova explosions indicates…
Hubble Space Telescope STIS Spectroscopy of Nova T Aurigae 1891
Conor Larsen, Patrick Godon, Edward Sion
T Aurigae is an eclipsing old nova which exploded in 1891. At a Gaia EDR3 distance of 815-871 pc, it is a relatively nearby old nova. Through ultraviolet spectral modeling and usin…
White Dwarf Photospheric Abundances in Cataclysmic Variables -- II. White Dwarfs With and Without a Mask
Patrick Godon, Edward M. Sion
Taking advantage of the now available Gaia EDR3 parallaxes, we carry out an archival {\it Hubble Space Telescope} (HST) far ultraviolet spectroscopic analysis of 10 cataclysmic var…
Constraining the Evolution of Cataclysmic Variables via the Masses and Accretion Rates of their Underlying White Dwarfs
A. F. Pala, B. T. Gänsicke, D. Belloni +28
We report on the masses (), effective temperatures () and secular mean accretion rates () of 43 cataclysmic variable (CV) wh…
