Orbital Period Changes of Recurrent Nova U Scorpii Demonstrate that M=26M and Is Not a Type Ia Supernova Progenitor
Bradley E. Schaefer, Gordon Myers
Recurrent nova U Scorpii (U Sco) is one of the prototypes for a Type Ia supernova progenitor. The logic is that the white dwarf is near the Chandrasekhar mass and gas is accumulati…
Revisiting the extremely long-period cataclysmic variables V479 Andromedae and V1082 Sagitarii
Gagik Tovmassian, Diogo Belloni, Anna F. Pala +56
The overwhelming majority of CVs have orbital periods shorter than 10 hr. However, a few have much longer periods, and their formation and existence pose challenges for the CV evol…
Optical and soft X-ray light-curve analysis during the 2022 eruption of U Scorpii: structural changes in the accretion disk
Katsuki Muraoka, Naoto Kojiguchi, Junpei Ito +52
We present our optical photometric observations of the 2022 eruption of the recurrent nova U Scorpii (U Sco) using 49,152 data points over 70 d following the optical peak. We have…
IGR J19552+0044: A new asynchronous short period polar: "Filling the gap between intermediate and ordinary polars"
G. Tovmassian, D. Gonzalez-Buitrago, J. Thorstensen +23
Based on XMM--Newton X-ray observations IGR J19552+0044 appears to be either a pre-polar or an asynchronous polar. We conducted follow-up optical observations to identify the sourc…
