Outburst Photometry of the Eclipsing Dwarf Nova GY Cancri
We observed the ROSAT-selected eclipsing dwarf nova GY Cnc (=RX J0909.8+1849) during the 2001 November outburst. We refined the orbital period to be 0.17544251(5) d. The fading portion of the outburst was indistinguishable from those of typical dwarf novae with similar orbital periods. However, the signature of orbital humps (or a hot spot) was far less prominently observed in the orbital light...
متن کاملULTRACAM observations of SDSS J170213.26+322954.1– an eclipsing cataclysmic variable in the period gap
We present high-speed, three-colour photometry of the eclipsing cataclysmic variable SDSS J170213.26+322954.1 (hereafter SDSS J1702+3229). This system has an orbital period of 2.4 hours, placing it within the “period gap” for cataclysmic variables. We determine the system parameters via a parameterized model of the eclipse fitted to the observed light curve by χ minimization. We obtain a mass r...
متن کاملULTRACAM Photometry of the ultracompact binaries V 407 Vul and HM Cnc
V407 Vul (RXJ1914.4+2456) and HM Cnc (RXJ0806.3+1527) are X-ray emitting stars with X-ray light curves that are 100% modulated on periods of 569 and 321 seconds respectively. These periods are thought possibly to represent the orbital periods of close pairs of white dwarfs. In this paper we present optical light curves taken with the highspeed CCD camera ULTRACAM on the 4.2m WHT in May 2003 and...
متن کاملTime-resolved Hst Spectroscopy of Four Eclipsing Magnetic Cataclysmic Variables
Time-resolved, multi-epoch, Hubble Space Telescope ultraviolet eclipse spectrophotometry is presented for the magnetic cataclysmic variables (mCVs) V1309 Ori, MN Hya, V2301 Oph, and V1432 Aql. Separation of the eclipse light curves into specific wavebands allows the multiple emission components to be distinguished. Accretion-heated photospheric spots are detected in V1309 Ori and V2301 Oph, ind...
متن کاملExcess mid-IR Emission in Cataclysmic Variables
We present a search for excess mid-IR emission due to circumbinary material in the orbital plane of cataclysmic variables (CVs). Our motivation stems from the fact that the strong braking exerted by a circumbinary (CB) disc on the binary system could explain several puzzles in our current understanding of CV evolution. Since theoretical estimates predict that the emission from a CB disc can dom...
