The Z Camelopardalis-type Star AY Piscium: Stellar and Accretion Disk Parameters

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We present a new study of the Z Cam-type eclipsing cataclysmic variable AY Piscium with the aim of determining the fundamental parameters of the system and the structure of the accretion flow therein.

MECI: A Method for Eclipsing Component Identification [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
We describe an automated method for assigning the most probable physical parameters to the components of an eclipsing binary, using only its photometric light curve and combined colors. With traditional methods, one attempts to optimize a multi-parameter

A complex state transition from the black hole candidate Swift J1753.5-0127 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We present our monitoring campaign of the outburst of the black-hole candidate Swift J1753.5-0127, observed with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer and the Swift satellites.

Tidal and rotational effects in the perturbations of hierarchical triple stellar systems. II. Eccentric systems - the case of AS Camelopardalis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
We study the perturbations of a relatively close third star on a tidally distorted eccentric eclipsing binary. We consider both the observational consequences of the variations of the orbital elements and the interactions of the stellar rotation with the

The Inter-eruption Timescale of Classical Novae from Expansion of the Z Camelopardalis Shell [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The dwarf nova Z Camelopardalis is surrounded by the largest known classical nova shell. This shell demonstrates that at least some dwarf novae must have undergone classical nova eruptions in the past, and that at least some classical novae become dwarf ...

MY Camelopardalis, a very massive merger progenitor [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Context. The early-type binary MY Cam belongs to the young open cluster Alicante 1, embedded in Cam OB3. Aims. MY Cam consists of two early-O type main-sequence stars and shows a photometric modulation suggesting an orbital period slightly above one day.

ASCA X-ray observations of the disk wind in the dwarf nova Z Camelopardalis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
We present ASCA observations of the dwarf nova Z Camelopardalis during outburst and during a transition from quiescence to another outburst. At the beginning of the transition the X-ray count rate was an order of magnitude higher and the spectrum much ...

A large scale extinction map of the Galactic Anticenter from 2MASS

open access: yes, 2007
We present a 127deg x 63deg extinction map of the Anticenter of the Galaxy, based on and colour excess maps from 2MASS. This 8001 square degree map with a resolution of 4 arcminutes is provided as online material. The colour excess ratio / is used to

Three-dimensional structure of the milky way dust: modeling of LAMOST data

open access: yes, 2018
We present a three-dimensional modeling of the Milky Way dust distribution by fitting the value-added star catalog of LAMOST spectral survey. The global dust distribution can be described by an exponential disk with scale-length of 3,192 pc and scale ...

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 ...
