Phase-resolved spectroscopy of ES Cet obtained with the Hobby-Eberly Telescope shows a clear modulation on the photometric period. We have followed a newly identified AM CVn star (`2003aw’) photometrically through its 2003 February/March outburst during which it varied in brightness over a range of V = 16.5 - 20.3; we find a superhump period of 2041.5 +/- 0.3 s. Questions are raised about the reality of the detected spin-up in RX J0806 (Hakala et al. 2003; Strohmayer 2003). | | Source: | arXiv, astro-ph/0310494 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
