Discovery of a bright eclipsing cataclysmic variable
Aims. We report on the discovery of J0644+3344, a bright deeply eclipsing cataclysmic variable (CV) binary. Methods. Optical photometric and spectroscopic observations were obtained to determine the nature and characteristics of this CV. Results. Spectral signatures of both binary components and an accretion disk can be seen at optical wavelengths. The optical spectrum shows broad H I, He I, an...
متن کاملDiscovery of an Ultracool White Dwarf Companion
The discovery of a low luminosity common proper motion companion to the white dwarf GD392 at a wide separation of 46 is reported. BV RIJHK photometry strongly indicates suppressed flux at all near infrared wavelengths. Thus, GD392B is one of the few white dwarfs to show collision-induced absorption due to the presence of photospheric H2 and the first ultracool white dwarf detected as a companio...
متن کاملA Possible Brown Dwarf Companion to the White Dwarf Gd1400
An unresolved, likely L dwarf companion to the DA white dwarf GD1400 is reported. This would be only the second such system known, discovered 17 years after the prototype L dwarf, GD165B, was determined to be a companion to a white dwarf. Photometric observations and model predicted stellar parameters of the well studied white dwarf primary indicate that GD1400B has J−K & 2.0 and MK = 12.13 mag...
متن کاملPhysical properties of IP Pegasi: an eclipsing dwarf nova with an unusually cool white dwarf
We present high-speed photometric observations of the eclipsing dwarf nova IP Pegasi (IP Peg) taken with the triple-beam camera ULTRACAM mounted on the William Herschel Telescope. The primary eclipse in this system was observed twice in 2004, and then a further 16 times over a 3 week period in 2005. Our observations were simultaneous in the Sloan u′, g′ and r′ bands. By phase-folding and averag...
متن کاملHST Spectra of GW Librae: A Hot Pulsating White Dwarf in a Cataclysmic Variable
We have obtained Hubble Space Telescope UV spectra of the white dwarf in GW Lib, the only known non-radially pulsating white dwarf in a cataclysmic variable, and the first known DAZQ variable. The UV light curve reveals large amplitude (10%) pulsations in the UV with the same periods (646, 376 and 237 s) as those seen at optical wavelengths, but the mean spectrum fits with an average white dwar...
