Brown Dwarfs and the Cataclysmic Variable Period Minimum 3
Using improved, up–to–date stellar input physics tested against observations of low– mass stars and brown dwarfs we calculate the secular evolution of low–mass donor cat-aclysmic variables (CVs), including those which form with a brown dwarf donor. Our models confirm the mismatch between the calculated minimum period (P min ≃ 70 min) and the observed short–period cut–off (≃ 80 min) in the CV pe...
متن کاملCataclysmic variable evolution: AM Her binaries and the period gap
AM Her variables – synchronised magnetic cataclysmic variables (CVs) – exhibit a different period distribution from other CVs across the period gap. We show that non-AM Her systems may infiltrate the longer-period end of the period gap if they are metal-deficient, but that the position and width of the gap in orbital period is otherwise insensitive to other binary parameters (excepting the norm...
متن کاملThe systemic velocities of four long-period cataclysmic variable stars
Although a large number of orbital periods of cataclysmic variable stars (CVs) have been measured, comparison of period and luminosity distributions with evolutionary theory is affected by strong selection effects. A test has been discovered which is independent of these selection effects and is based upon the kinematics of CVs (Kolb & Stehle, 1996). If the standard models of evolution are corr...
متن کاملGZ Cancri : a cataclysmic variable at the lower edge of the period gap ⋆
We present calibrated photometry and time-resolved spectroscopy of the cataclysmic variable GZ Cnc. Radial velocities of the Hα emission line reveal an orbital period of 0.08825(28) d, or 2.118(07) h, placing the system at the lower edge of the period gap. One of our observations catches the system on the rise to an overlooked, possibly small-amplitude, outburst. At certain phases during this s...
متن کاملA Far - Ultraviolet Survey of 47 Tucanae . II . The Long - Period Cataclysmic Variable AKO 9 1
We present time-resolved, far-ultraviolet (FUV) spectroscopy and photometry of the 1.1 day eclipsing binary system AKO 9 in the globular cluster 47 Tucanae. The FUV spectrum of AKO 9 is blue and exhibits prominent C iv and He ii emission lines. The spectrum broadly resembles that of long-period, cataclysmic variables (CVs) in the galactic field. Combining our time-resolved FUV data with archiva...
