The Luminous Erupting Dwarf Nova CV1 in the Dense Globular Cluster M15

open access: yes, 2004
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, multi-epoch HST images we

Morphology‐Driven Electromechanical Performance of Graphene‐Based Electrofluids for Emerging Soft Electronic Systems

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Here, two types of electronic components are presented: a strain sensor and a stable resistor. Electrofluids properties are tuned to match these behaviors by selecting the type of filler. We show that the morphology of the filler together with its oxygen content are the key parameters to create electrical and mechanical networks with distinct responses.

Observations of Five Southern-hemisphere Cataclysmic Binary Stars

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
We present observations and analyses of five little-studied cataclysmic binary stars in the southern celestial hemisphere. Our new observations are from the South African Astronomical Observatory.

Recurrent Novae at Quiescence: Systems with Giant Secondaries [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
Spectroscopic and photometric behaviour of the class of recurrent novae with giant secondaries (T Coronae Borealis, RS Ophiuchi, V3890 Sagittarii and V745 Scorpii) at quiescence are presented in this study. The hot component in these systems is variable,

A nova origin of the gas cloud at the Galactic Center ?

open access: yes, 2012
The recent discovery by Gillessen and collaborators of a cloud of gas falling towards the Galactic Center on a highly eccentric orbit, diving nearly straight into the immediate neighborhood of the central supermassive black hole, raises the important ...

Controlling Film Formation in Inkjet‐printed MAPbBr3 Through Graphene Incorporation for Enhanced Photodetection

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This work highlights the impact of incorporating graphene nanoflakes into precursor inks of MAPbBr3 for inkjet‐printed optoelectronic device applications. A substantial modification of the crystallization dynamics is reported despite miniscule concentrations.

Tilted Disk Precession and Negative Superhumps in HS 2325+8205: A Multiwindow Analysis

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Tilted disk precession exists in different objects. Negative superhumps (NSHs) in cataclysmic variable stars are believed to arise from the interaction between the reverse precession of a tilted disk and the streams from the secondary star.

Erupting Cataclysmic Variable Stars in the Nearest Globular Cluster, NGC 6397: Intermediate Polars?

open access: yes, 2005
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 ...

On–Off Switchable Micromotors for Use in Steerable Microvehicles

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Electrically controllable micromotors and microvehicles are developed by tuning the diffusion of the fuel. Self‐propelled micromotors using bubble propulsion show great promise for miniaturized devices with multiuse purposes such as cargo delivery and sensing. However, there is currently no method to electrically switch the micromotors on or off. Here,

FQ Circini: An Ordinary Nova with a High-mass B1 V(n)(e) Companion Whose Decretion Disk Transfers Mass to the White Dwarf via Roche–Lobe Overflow

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
FQ Cir was an ordinary fast He/N classical nova, peaking at V = 10.9. The pre-eruption and post-eruption counterpart was at V = 14.0, making this the smallest known classical nova amplitude, 3.1 mag.
