XMM-Newton observation of the long-period polar V1309 Ori: The case for pure blobby accretion

open access: yes, 2005
Using XMM-Newton we have obtained the first X-ray observation covering a complete orbit of the longest period polar, V1309 Ori. The X-ray light curve is dominated by a short, bright phase interval with EPIC pn count rates reaching up to 15 cts/sec per 30

An Eccentric Planet Orbiting the Polar V808 Aurigae

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We analyze 15 yr of eclipse timings of the polar V808 Aur. The rapid ingress/egress of the white dwarf and bright accretion region provide timings as precise as a few tenths of a second for rapid cadence photometric data.

Irradiated atmospheres of accreting magnetic white dwarfs with an application to the polar AM Herculis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
We present a pilot study of atmospheres of accreting magnetic white dwarfs irradiated by intense fluxes at ultraviolet to infrared wavelengths. The model uses a standard LTE stellar atmosphere code which is expanded by introducing an angle-dependent ...

Accretion physics of AM Herculis binaries, I. Results from one-dimensional stationary radiation hydrodynamics

open access: yes, 2001
We have solved the one-dimensional stationary two-fluid hydrodynamic equations for post-shock flows on accreting magnetic white dwarfs simultaneous with the fully frequency and angle-dependent radiative transfer for cyclotron radiation and bremsstrahlung.

Multi-epoch Doppler tomography and polarimetry of QQ Vul [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
We present multi-epoch high-resolution spectroscopy and photoelectric polarimetry of the long-period polar (AM Herculis star) QQ Vul. The blue emission lines show several distinct components, the sharpest of which can unequivocally be assigned to the ...

Accurate masses and radii of normal stars: modern results and applications [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
This paper presents and discusses a critical compilation of accurate, fundamental determinations of stellar masses and radii. We have identified 95 detached binary systems containing 190 stars (94 eclipsing systems, and alpha Centauri) that satisfy our ...

Detailed ROSAT X-ray Analysis of the AM Her Cataclysmic Variable VV Pup

open access: yes, 2014
VV Pup is typical system of AM Her stars, where the main accreting pole rotates in and out of view during the orbital cycle. In the present paper we present ROSAT data analysis for the magnetic cataclysmic variable VV Pup.

Optical and X-ray Studies of Ten X-ray Selected Cataclysmic Binaries [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We report on ground-based optical observations of ten cataclysmic binaries that were discovered through their X-ray emission. Time-resolved radial velocity spectroscopy yields unambiguous orbital periods for eight objects and ambiguous results for the ...

An interferometric study of the post-AGB binary 89 Herculis I Spatially resolving the continuum circumstellar environment at optical and near-IR wavelengths with the VLTI, NPOI, IOTA, PTI, and the CHARA Array

open access: yes, 2013
Binary post-AGB stars are interesting laboratories to study both the evolution of binaries as well as the structure of circumstellar disks. A multiwavelength high angular resolution study of the prototypical object 89 Herculis is performed with the aim ...

Asteroseismology

open access: yes, 2012
Asteroseismology is the determination of the interior structures of stars by using their oscillations as seismic waves. Simple explanations of the astrophysical background and some basic theoretical considerations needed in this rapidly evolving field ...
