Post-common envelope binaries from SDSS - XVI. Long orbital period systems and the energy budget of CE evolution
A. Rebassa-Mansergas, M. Zorotovic, M. R. Schreiber +10
Virtually all close compact binary stars are formed through common-envelope (CE) evolution. It is generally accepted that during this crucial evolutionary phase a fraction of the o…
Post common envelope binaries from SDSS. XII: The orbital period distribution
A. Nebot Gómez-Morán, B. T. Gänsicke, M. R. Schreiber +18
The complexity of the common envelope phase and of magnetic stellar wind braking currently limits our understanding of close binary evolution. Because of their intrinsically simple…
Observations of three pre-cataclysmic variables from the Edinburgh-Cape Blue Object Survey
C. Tappert, B. T. Gaensicke, M. Zorotovic +4
We present light curves and time-resolved spectroscopy of the three candidate pre-cataclysmic binaries EC 12477-1738, EC 13349-3237, and EC 14329-1625. We determine the orbital per…
IP Pegasi in outburst: Echelle spectroscopy & Modulation Doppler Tomography
C. Papadaki, H. M. J. Boffin, D. Steeghs
We analyse a unique set of time-resolved echelle spectra of the dwarf nova IP Peg, obtained at ESO's NTT with EMMI. The dataset covers the wavelength range of 4000-7500A and shows…
RR Pictoris: an old nova showing superhumps and QPOs
L. Schmidtobreick, C. Papadaki, C. Tappert +1
We present time-resolved V-photometry of the old nova RR Pic. Apart from the hump-like variability, the light curves show the strong flickering and random variation typical for RR…
Photometric study of selected cataclysmic variables II. Time-series photometry of nine systems
C. Papadaki, H. M. J. Boffin, V. Stanishev +3
We present time-series photometry of nine cataclysmic variables: EI UMa, V844Her, V751 Cyg, V516 Cyg, GZ Cnc, TY Psc, V1315 Aql, ASAS J002511+1217.12, V1315 Aql and LN UMa. The obs…
