Dynamical mass of the white dwarf in XY Ari: a test for intermediate polar X-ray spectral models
A. Álvarez-Hernández, M. A. P. Torres, P. Rodríguez-Gil +7
We present a dynamical study of the eclipsing intermediate polar XY Ari based on time-resolved near-infrared spectroscopy obtained with the EMIR spectrograph on the 10.4-m Gran Tel…
Limiting the accretion disk light in two mass transferring hot subdwarf binaries
Kunal Deshmukh, Thomas Kupfer, Pasi Hakala +6
We report the results from follow-up observations of two Roche-lobe filling hot subdwarf binaries with white dwarf companions predicted to have accretion disks. ZTF J213056.71+4420…
Two decades of optical timing of the shortest-period binary star system HM Cancri
James Munday, T. R. Marsh, Mark Hollands +15
The shortest-period binary star system known to date, RX J0806.3+1527 (HM Cancri), has now been observed in the optical for more than two decades. Although it is thought to be a do…
A magnetic valve at L1 revealed in TESS photometry of the asynchronous polar BY Cam
Paul A. Mason, Colin Littlefield, Lorena C. Monroy +7
We present TESS photometry of the asynchronous polar BY Cam, which undergoes a beat-cycle between the 199.384-min white dwarf (WD) spin period and the 201.244-min orbital period. T…
Short Duration Accretion States of Polars as seen in TESS and ZTF data
C. Duffy, G. Ramsay, Kinwah Wu +4
Polars are highly magnetic cataclysmic variables which have been long observed to have both high and low brightness states. The duration of these states has been previously seen to…
A TESS search for donor-star pulsations in High-Mass X-ray Binaries
Gavin Ramsay, Pasi Hakala, Philip A. Charles
Ground-based optical photometry of the counterparts of High-Mass X-ray Binaries (HMXBs) has revealed the presence of periodic modulations on timescales of ~0.3-0.5 d. More recent s…
