New or Improved Orbital Periods of Cataclysmic Binaries
John R. Thorstensen, Frederick A. Ringwald, Cynthia J. Taylor +5
We present a table of 58 cataclysmic binary orbital periods determined using data from MDM Observatory. Most are heretofore unpublished; some are refinements of previously publishe…
An unusual white dwarf star may be a surviving remnant of a subluminous Type Ia supernova
S. Vennes, P. Nemeth, A. Kawka +4
Subluminous Type Ia supernovae, such as the Type Iax class prototype SN 2002cx, are described by a variety of models such as the failed detonation and partial deflagration of an ac…
A Trip to the Cataclysmic Binary Zoo: Detailed Follow-Up of 35 Recently-Discovered Systems
John R. Thorstensen, Erek H. Alper, Kathryn E. Weil
We report follow-up studies of 35 recently-discovered cataclysmic variables (CVs), 32 of which were found in large, automated synoptic sky surveys. The objects were selected for ob…
The Young and Bright Type Ia Supernova ASASSN-14lp: Discovery, Early-Time Observations, First-Light Time, Distance to NGC 4666, and Progenitor Constraints
B. J. Shappee, A. L. Piro, T. W. -S. Holoien +29
On 2014 Dec. 9.61, the All-Sky Automated Survey for SuperNovae (ASAS-SN or "Assassin") discovered ASASSN-14lp just days after first light using a global array of 14-cm diam…
