3D eclipse mapping
A light curve modelling and fitting program is presented for cataclysmic variable stars and related objects. It allows modelling of a three-dimensional disk in conjunction with the Roche-lobe filling secondary star, thus rendering it a very general tool for light curve analysis. Optimization of the solution is based on the maximumentropy algorithm. Some bench-mark tests are presented, and the g...
متن کاملEclipse mapping of accretion discs
The eclipse mapping method is an inversion technique that makes use of the information contained in eclipse light curves to probe the structure, the spectrum and the time evolution of accretion discs. In this review I present the basics of the method and discuss its different implementations. I summarize the most important results obtained to date and discuss how they have helped to improve our...
متن کاملToward Eclipse Mapping of Hot Jupiters
Recent Spitzer infrared measurements of hot Jupiter eclipses suggest that eclipse mapping techniques could be used to spatially resolve the day-side photospheric emission of these planets using partial occultations. As a first step in this direction, we simulate ingress/egress lightcurves for three bright eclipsing hot Jupiters and evaluate the degree to which parameterized photospheric emissio...
متن کاملWhat can we learn from Accretion Disc Eclipse Mapping experiments?
The accretion disc eclipse mapping method is an astrotomographic inversion technique that makes use of the information contained in eclipse light curves to probe the structure, the spectrum and the time evolution of accretion discs in cataclysmic variables. This paper presents examples of eclipse mapping results that have been key to improve our understanding of accretion physics.
متن کاملHST/FOS Eclipse mapping of IP Pegasi in outburst
IP Pegasi is a deeply eclipsing dwarf nova (Porb = 3.8 hr) which shows 1-2 weeks-long, ≃ 2 mag outbursts every 60120 days. During outbursts, tidally induced spiral shocks form in its accretion disc as the disc expands and its outer parts feel more effectively the gravitational attraction of the companion star (Steeghs, Harlaftis & Horne 1997). Here we present the first results of a time-resolve...
