Low State, Phase-Resolved IR Spectroscopy of VV Puppis
Steve B. Howell, Thomas E. Harrison, Ryan K. Campbell +2
We present phase-resolved low resolution and higher resolution -band spectroscopy of the polar VV Pup. All observations were obtained when VV Pup was in a low accretion st…
A Search for Variable Stars and Planetary Occultations in NGC 2301 II: Variability
Steve B. Howell, Cassandra VanOutryve, John L. Tonry +2
We performed R-band time series observations of the young, metal rich open cluster NGC 2301 for 12 nights in Feb. 2004. B images were also obtained and color magnitude diagrams, ha…
Why Are The Secondary Stars in Polars So Normal?
Thomas E. Harrison, Steve B. Howell, Paula Szkody +1
We have used NIRSPEC on Keck II to obtain -band spectroscopy of several magnetic cataclysmic variables. These data reveal that the secondary stars in these binary systems have s…
On the new short orbital period cataclysmic variable Halpha0242-2802
E. Mason, S. B. Howell
We present results from our phase-resolved spectroscopy of the newly identified cataclysmic variable Halpha0242-2802. Halpha0242-2802 was identified from a deep UK Schmidt Halpha-R…
Discovery of Non-radial pulsations in PQ Andromedae
Karen M. Vanlandingham, Greg J. Schwarz, Steve B. Howell
We have detected pulsations in time-series photometry of the WZ Sge dwarf nova PQ And. The strongest peak in the power spectrum occurs at a period of 10.5 minutes. Similar periods…
Lifting the Iron Curtain : Toward an Understanding of the Iron Stars XX Oph and AS 325
Richard J. Cool, Steve B. Howell, Maria Pena +2
We present new optical, near infrared, and archival ultraviolet observations of XX Ophiuchi and AS 325, two proposed iron stars. These unusual stars have optical spectra dominated…
