HST/COS Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Analysis of U Geminorum Following a Wide Outburst

Patrick Godon, Michael M. Shara, Edward M. Sion +1

We have used HST/COS to obtain a series of 4 FUV (915-2148A) spectroscopic observations of the prototypical dwarf nova U Geminorum during its cooling following a two-week outburst.…

No Neon, but Jets in the Remarkable Recurrent Nova M31N 2008-12a? - Hubble Space Telescope Spectroscopy of the 2015 Eruption

M. J. Darnley, R. Hounsell, P. Godon +14

The 2008 discovery of an eruption of M31N 2008-12a began a journey on which the true nature of this remarkable recurrent nova continues to be revealed. M31N 2008-12a contains a whi…

Inflows, Outflows, and a Giant Donor in the Remarkable Recurrent Nova M31N 2008-12a? - Hubble Space Telescope Photometry of the 2015 Eruption

M. J. Darnley, R. Hounsell, P. Godon +14

The recurrent nova M31N 2008-12a experiences annual eruptions, contains a near-Chandrasekhar mass white dwarf, and has the largest mass accretion rate in any nova system. In this p…

Modifying the Standard Disk Model for the Ultraviolet Spectral Analysis of Disk-dominated Cataclysmic Variables. I. The Novalikes MV Lyrae, BZ Camelopardalis, and V592 Cassiopeiae

Patrick Godon, Edward M. Sion, Solen Balman +1

The standard disk is often inadequate to model disk-dominated cataclysmic variables (CVs) and generates a spectrum that is bluer than the observed UV spectra [Puebla et al 2007]. X…

FUSE Spectroscopy of the Accreting Hot Components in Symbiotic Variables

Edward Sion, Patrick Godon, Joanna Mikolajewska +2

We have conducted a spectroscopic analysis of the far ultraviolet archival spectra of four symbiotic variables, EG And, AE Ara, CQ Dra and RW Hya. RW Hya and EG And have never had…

Effective Temperatures of Cataclysmic Variable White Dwarfs as a Probe of their Evolution

A. F. Pala, B. T. Gänsicke, D. Townsley +29

We present HST spectroscopy for 45 cataclysmic variables (CVs), observed with HST/COS and HST/STIS. For 36 CVs, the white dwarf is recognisable through its broad Ly absorption p…
