The evolutionary history of ultra-compact accreting binaries

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics
Context. AM Canum Venaticorum (AM CVn) stars are ultra-compact binary systems composed of a white dwarf primary accreting from a hydrogen-deficient donor.

Long-Term Photometry of Very Slow Novae

open access: yesOpen Astronomy, 2003
Long-term photographic, photoelectric and recent CCD photometry of the classical nova V723 Cas and symbiotic novae V1329 Cyg, PU Vul, V1016 Cyg and HM Sge were used to find their orbital periods.

Recurrent Novae, Classical Novae, Symbiotic Novae, and Population II Novae

open access: yes, 2001
Light curve analysis of decay phase of nova outburst are summarized. Nova duration is determined by the strong wind mass-loss which depends only on the white dwarf mass. Fast novae correspond very massive white dwarfs and very slow novae correspond almost lower mass limit of white dwarfs.

Recurrent novae [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1990
AbstractThermonuclear models of recurrent novae demand white dwarf accretors near the Chandrasekhar mass. In this case, the known recurrent novae should possess classical counterparts bearing the same structural parameters and space distribution, save for having only marginally less massive white dwarfs.

A systematic search for novae in M31 on a large set of digitized archival Schmidt plates

open access: yes, 2007
This paper reports on the detection of optical novae in our neighbour galaxy M31 based on digitized historical Tautenburg Schmidt plates. The accurate positions of the detected novae lead to a much larger database when searching for recurrent novae in ...

Germanane Quantum Dots Promote Metabolic Reprogramming of Immune Cells Toward Regulatory T Cells and Suppress Inflammation In Vitro and In Vivo

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Metabolic changes in immune cells direct the phenotype and function of the host immune system. Smart nanomaterials must target metabolic pathways to direct immune cell fate. This study reports the fabrication and first application of germanane quantum dots (GeHQDs) to modulate inflammation in vitro and in vivo.

The Contribution of a Community Event to Expert Work: An Activity Theoretical Perspective

open access: yesOutlines, 2004
Becoming an expert in any knowledge domain takes time and a great deal of learning, both theoretical and experiential.  The individual’s knowledge is often supplemented through knowledge exchanges with other experts.

Unveiling the white dwarf in the eclipsing polar HU Aquarii

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics
We present an analysis of high-speed u- and r-band photometry of the eclipsing polar HU Aqr that was obtained with ULTRACAM mounted on the VLT. The observations were performed during a low state, permitting us for the first time to determine the contact ...

Characterizing the Photometric Response of the ANS Collaboration Monitoring Program

open access: yesOpen Astronomy, 2012
the ANS Collaboration uses the UBV RCIC filters from various commercial manufacturers (Omega Optical, Custom Scientific, Schuler, Optec, Astrodon) for its ongoing photometric monitoring of symbiotic stars.

Cidades Novas [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Uma viagem ao universo das cidades novas, esse é o convite que essa obra vem oferecer aos leitores a fim de transitar, a partir da visão particular do autor, pelo contexto, pelos conceitos e pelos aspectos inerentes a esse tipo urbanístico, ainda pouco explorado pela literatura especializada brasileira.
