Phase-resolved spectroscopic observations of the magnetic cataclysmic binary EF Eridani: Revealing complex magnetic accretion during a high state
Zwidofhela N. Khangale, Stephen B. Potter, David A. H. Buckley +1
We present high-resolution, phase-resolved spectroscopic observations of the polar EF Eri, obtained with SALT and the SAAO 1.9-m telescope during its recent emergence from a three-…
A targeted search for binary white dwarf pulsars using Gaia and WISE
Ingrid Pelisoli, T. R. Marsh, G. Tovmassian +24
After its discovery in 2016, the white dwarf binary AR Scorpii (AR Sco) remained for several years the only white dwarf system to show pulsed radio emission associated with a fast-…
A Link Between White Dwarf Pulsars and Polars: Multiwavelength Observations of the 9.36-Minute Period Variable Gaia22ayj
Antonio C. Rodriguez, Kareem El-Badry, Pasi Hakala +30
White dwarfs (WDs) are the most abundant compact objects, and recent surveys have suggested that over a third of WDs in accreting binaries host a strong (B 1 MG) magnetic…
CSS161010: a luminous, fast blue optical transient with broad blueshifted hydrogen lines
Claudia P. Gutiérrez, Seppo Mattila, Peter Lundqvist +38
We present ultraviolet, optical and near-infrared photometric and optical spectroscopic observations of the luminous, fast blue optical transient (LFBOT), CSS161010:045834-081803 (…
