28 Jul 2003 | Journal: | Mon.Not.Roy.Astron.Soc. 345 (2003) 1266 | Subject: | astro-ph | Affiliation: | Univ. of Cape Town) and Brian Warner (Univ. of Cape Town | Abstract: | High speed photometry of the new AM CVn star in Hya (previously known as SN2003aw), spectroscopically identified by Chornock & Filippenko, shows it to have a superhump period of 2041.5 +/- 0.3 s. We find a range of brightness from V ~ 16.5 to 20.3, presumably caused by variations in the rate of mass transfer. In the intermediate state the system cycles in brightness with a period of ~ 16 h and range >= 0.4 mag. There are sidebands to the principal frequencies in the Fourier transform which have constant frequency difference from the superhump harmonics. | Source: | arXiv, astro-ph/0307473 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
