Modeling Eclipses of the Novalike Variable TT Triangulum
Multicolor (BV RI) light curves of the eclipsing novalike variable TT Tri are presented. The eclipse profiles are analyzed with a parameter-fitting model that assumes four sources of luminosity: a white dwarf primary star, a mainsequence secondary star, a flared accretion disk with a rim, and a bright spot at the intersection of the mass-transfer stream and the disk periphery. Model parameters ...
متن کاملTT Arietis : the low state revisited ?
We present optical and ultraviolet spectroscopy of TT Ari obtained during the 1982−85 low state. In November/December 1983, accretion had almost completely ceased, unveiling both the white dwarf and the secondary star. The IUE spectrum obtained during that occasion contains absorption lines ofLyα, Si IV, C IV, and He II. We derive a photospheric temperature of Twd = 39 000K and find the abundan...
متن کاملAn outburst of the magnetic cataclysmic variable XY Arietis observed with RXTE
We report the first observed outburst of the magnetic cataclysmic variable XY Ari. Xray observations show a flux increase by an order of magnitude the day after the first signs of outburst. During the 5-d duration the X-ray spin pulse is greatly enhanced and the X-ray spectrum far more absorbed. We suggest that the inner disc pushes inwards during outburst, blocking the view to the lower accret...
متن کاملSpiral waves and the secondary in the novalike variable, V3885 Sgr
We present seven nights’ blue (4300–5000Å) spectroscopy of the novalike variable star, V3885 Sgr. The line spectrum shows a typical combination of broad absorption and emission in H γ and Hβ and He i, which is associated with the accretion disk. We also observe anti-phased narrow emission, which we attribute to irradiation of the secondary star. The He iiλ 4686 and N iii–C iii–C iv emission lin...
متن کاملUV-Vis spectroscopy of stardust
NASA’s Stardust mission flew through the coma of comet Wild 2 in January 2004, capturing dust grains as it did so. The grains were returned safely to Earth in January 2006, and are in the process of being distributed to investigators. As members of the Spectroscopy Preliminary Examination Team, we are preparing to analyse Stardust grains. Our contribution is to measure the spectrum of the grain...
