What’s Cool About Hot Stars? Cataclysmic Variables in the Mid-Infrared [PDF]

, 2009
We review recent results from mid-infrared observations of cataclysmic variables with the Spitzer Space Telescope. In general, these observations have revealed mid-infrared excesses, above the level expected from the stellar and accretion components, in ...

Photometric study of selected cataclysmic variables [PDF]

, 2006
We present time-resolved photometry of five relatively poorly-studied cataclysmic variables: V1193 Ori, LQ Peg, LD 317, V795 Her, and MCT 2347-3144. The observations were made using four 1m-class telescopes for a total of more than 250 h of observation ...

Cataclysmic variables: structure and evolution [PDF]

International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1994
AbstractI discuss the structure and evolution of cataclysmic variables, with a particular emphasis on the influence of the physics used in calculating the internal structure of the secondary. The available observational data is very rich, and can, in principle, be used to constrain the stellar physics.

The ethics of responding to democratic backsliding abroad

American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The past decade has seen a marked shift as many previously liberal democratic states have backslidden, taking authoritarian turns. How should liberal actors respond to democratic backsliding by others? Although it might seem that it is vital for liberal actors to react robustly to avoid complicity or to maintain their liberal integrity, this ...

CVcat: an interactive database on cataclysmic variables

, 2003
CVcat is a database that contains published data on cataclysmic variables and related objects. Unlike in the existing online sources, the users are allowed to add data to the catalogue.

Phantasmic Encounters in the Arctic: Haunting Materialities Beyond the Ghosts of War

Anthropology of Consciousness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the vast north, ghostly experiences are common for locals and outsiders alike. Here, we explore how cultural‐natural attributes, like remoteness and extreme seasonal variation, compound experiences of the haunting in visceral ways. This provides the Arctic region with an unusually pronounced baseline of other‐than‐human agency, which in the

BLOB PARAMETERS OF ACCRETION STREAMS IN MAGNETIC CATACLYSMIC VARIABLES

Odessa Astronomical Publications, 2017
Results of investigations of the autocorrelation functions for two magnetic cataclysmic variables BY Cam and QQ Vul are presented. Significant variations of this characteristic are detected. They are interpreted as caused by variations of the blob length

Exploring Tolerance Towards Corruption in the European Union Through Experienced Corruption, Perceived Corruption and Institutional Trust

Business Ethics, the Environment &Responsibility, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Corruption is a major problem that undermines the foundations of democracy and reduces citizens' trust in institutions. However, even in the world's most advanced countries, citizens accept certain levels of corruption. This tolerance towards corruption (TC) reduces the impact of anti‐corruption actions and ends up giving a patina of normality

‘I Don't Want Another Five Years of “The Only Thing We Talk About Is Brexit”’: The Dynamics of EU (De)politicisation in Post‐Brexit Britain

JCMS: Journal of Common Market Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract The 2016 Brexit referendum was a watershed moment for the politicisation of the European Union (EU) in the United Kingdom. Much has been written about the politicising effects of the referendum, along with the Leave result's subsequent contestation in the media as well as in national and European election cycles.

Long-term Periodicities of Cataclysmic Variables with Synoptic Surveys [PDF]

, 2017
A systematic study on the long-term periodicities of known Galactic cataclysmic variables (CVs) was conducted. Among 1580 known CVs, 344 sources were matched and extracted from the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) data repository.
