HST/FOS Spectral Mapping of V2051 Ophiuchi in a Low State
We report a study of the spectra and structure of the accretion disk of the dwarf nova V2051 Ophiuchi while the star was in an unusual faint brightness state during 1996. The differences between the UV resonant lines and continuum disk surface brightness distributions indicate a vertically extended disk with the emission from these lines arising from the upper atmospheric layers. Distinct emiss...
متن کاملWhat can we learn from Accretion Disc Eclipse Mapping experiments?
The accretion disc eclipse mapping method is an astrotomographic inversion technique that makes use of the information contained in eclipse light curves to probe the structure, the spectrum and the time evolution of accretion discs in cataclysmic variables. This paper presents examples of eclipse mapping results that have been key to improve our understanding of accretion physics.
متن کاملRS Ophiuchi : Thermonuclear Explosion or Disc Instability ?
Sokoloski et al (2008) have recently reported evidence that the recurrent nova RS Ophi-uchi produced a pair of highly collimated radio jets within days of its 2006 outburst. This suggests that an accretion disc must be present during the outburst. However in the standard picture of recurrent novae as thermonuclear events, any such disc must be expelled from the white dwarf vicinity, as the nucl...
متن کاملISOCAM mapping of the Ophiuchi main cloud
We present preliminary results of the ISOCAM survey of the Ophiuchi main cloud L1688 (0.5 square degrees) conducted in the two broad-band filters LW2 (5-8.5 m) and LW3 (12-18 m). This letter focuses on the properties of the extended emission. ISOCAM observations have revealed several previously unknown characteristics of the mid–IR diffuse emission: the small scale filamentary structure (thickn...
متن کاملTime - resolved flickering mapping of V 2051 Ophiuchi
Although flickering is one of the fundamental signatures of accretion, it is also the most poorly understood aspect of the accretion processes. A promising step towards a better undestanding of flickering consists in using the eclipse mapping method to probe the surface distribution of the flickering sources. We report on the analysis of light curves of the dwarf nova and strong flicker V2051 O...
