Dwarf Nova CV 1 in the Dense Globular Cluster
Despite decades-old predictions of the expected presence of dozens of cataclysmic variables in the cores of globular clusters, the number of irrefutable, out-bursting candidates is still barely a handful. Using multi-wavelength, multiepoch HST images we have produced outburst and quiescence light curves for the recently discovered large amplitude variable CV1 in the core of the post corecollaps...
متن کاملNeutron-capture Elements in the Metal-poor Globular Cluster M15
We report on observations of six giants in the globular cluster M15 (NGC 7078) using the Subaru Telescope to measure neutron-capture elemental abundances. Our abundance analyses based on high-quality blue spectra confirm the star-to-star scatter in the abundances of heavy neutron-capture elements (e.g., Eu), and no significant s-process contribution to them, as was found in previous studies. We...
متن کاملErupting Cataclysmic Variable Stars in the Nearest Globular Cluster , NGC 6397 : Intermediate Polars ?
NGC 6397 is the closest globular cluster, and hence the ideal place to search for faint stellar populations such as cataclysmic variables (CVs). HST and Chandra observers have identified nine certain and likely CVs in this nearby cluster, including several magnetic CV candidates. We have combined our recent UV imagery with archival HST images of NGC 6397 to search for new CV candidates and espe...
متن کاملThe Discovery of a Very Faint X-ray Transient in the Globular Cluster M15
We have identified an X-ray transient (hereafter M15 X-3) in the globular cluster M15 from an archival Chandra grating observation. M15 X-3 appears at an X-ray luminosity of 6 × 10 ergs s with a spectrum consistent with an absorbed power law of photon index 1.51±0.14. The object is identifiable in archival Chandra HRC-I observations with an X-ray luminosity of 2− 6× 10 ergs s and apparently sof...
متن کاملThe Globular Cluster System of the Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy
Prompted by the discovery of the accreted Canis Major dwarf galaxy and its associated globular cluster (GC) system (Martin et al.), we investigate the contribution of accreted GCs to the Galactic system. The Canis Major GCs, and those associated with the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy, exhibit a range of galactocentric radii, prograde and retro-grade motions, and horizontal branch morphologies, indic...
