BLITZSTEIN, D. H. BRADSTREET, B. J. HRIVNAK, A. B. HULL, AND R. H. KOCH Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics and Flower and Cook Observatory University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia R. J.

GALATOLA Space Division, General Electric Company, Valley Forge Received 1979 November 12, revised 1980 March 3 The results from more than 2700 filtered photoelectric observations of Nova Cyg 1978, obtained at the Flower and Cook Observatory, are summarized. The nova's decline through about 5 magnitudes is documented and amalgamated with similar observations already published by other groups. Variability on time scales up to 0.08 day and with peak-to- peak amplitudes up to 0^13 were common. No short-term periodicity was found. In the two-color plane the variability of the color indices is highly nonthermal and perhaps shows an inflection of slope about the time that dust was reported from IR observations by another group. A distance of 3 kpc is suggested. A few linear polarization measures, taken before dust formation, are listed. From the large interstellar component, a net intrinsic polarization is derived for the post-dust stages. Key words: novae—photometry—polarimetry I.

  • Permanent Superhumps in V1974 Cyg 3
    Mon. Not. R. Astron. Soc. 000, 1–?? (1997) Printed 15 September 2018 (MN LaTEX style file v1.4) Permanent Superhumps in Nova V1974 Cygni 1992 A. Retter,1 E.M. Leibowitz and E.O. Ofek School of Physics and Astronomy and the Wise Observatory, Raymond and Beverly Sackler Faculty of Exact Sciences, Tel-Aviv University, Tel Aviv, 69978, Israel 1 email: [email protected] accepted 1996 November 4 ABSTRACT We present results of 32 nights of CCD photometry of V1974 Cygni, from the years 1994 and 1995. We verify the presence of two distinct periodicities in the light curve: 0.0812585 day ≈ 1.95 hours and 0.0849767 d ≈ 2.04 hr. We establish that the shorter periodicity is the orbital period of the underlying binary system. The longer period oscillates with an average value of |P˙ |∼ 3 × 10−7—typical to permanent superhumps. The two periods obey the linear relation between the orbital and superhump periods that holds among members of the SU Ursae Majoris class of dwarf novae. A third periodicity of 0.083204 d ≈ 2.00 hr appeared in 1994 but not in 1995. It may be related to the recently discovered anti-superhump phenomenon. These results suggest a linkage between the classical nova V1974 Cyg and the SU UMa stars, and indicate the existence of an accretion disk and permanent superhumps in the system no later than 30 months after the nova outburst. From the precessing disk model of the superhump phenomenon we estimate that the mass ratio in the binary system is between 2.2 and 3.6.

Ujazdowskie 4, 00-478 Warszawa, Poland e-mail:(is,olech,nalezyty)@sirius.astrouw.edu.pl Received December 1, 1995 ABSTRACT We report on CCD photometry of Nova V1500 Cygni obtained in July 1995 to show that twenty years after outburst, being of about 18 mag, the star can still be observed with small telescopes. The 0.1396 day period continues to be stable. Key words: Stars: individual: V1500 Cyg ± binaries: close ± novae, cataclysmic variables 1. Introduction V1500 Cygni (Nova Cygni 1975), the brightest, fastest and the most intriguing nova of the last twenty years, faded now to 18 mag. However, despite of its faint- ness, it still appears to be an object suitable for observations with small telescopes, and this is possible due to the CCD technique. The nova is still worthwhile to be observed. Twelve years after its outburst, polarimetric observations (Stockman, Schmidt and Lamb 1988) revealed that the object was an intermediate polar with the spin period Pspin of its white dwarf component being about 2% shorter than the orbital period Porb equal to 0.1396 days. Subsequently, the spin period appeared to be increasing (Schmidt and Stockman 1991, Schmidt, Liebert and Stockman 1995) with the rate of increase indicating synchronization of the rotational and orbital motions in about 170 years. On this time-scale the star will be returning to its pre-outburst AM Herculis state.

    Magnetic fields in isolated and interacting white dwarfs Lilia Ferrario1 and Dayal Wickramasinghe2 Mathematical Sciences Institute, The Australian National University, Canberra, ACT 2601, Australia Adela Kawka3 International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research, Curtin University, Perth, WA 6102, Australia Abstract The magnetic white dwarfs (MWDs) are found either isolated or in inter- acting binaries. The isolated MWDs divide into two groups: a high field group (105 − 109 G) comprising some 13 ± 4% of all white dwarfs (WDs), and a low field group (B < 105 G) whose incidence is currently under investigation. The situation may be similar in magnetic binaries because the bright accretion discs in low field systems hide the photosphere of their WDs thus preventing the study of their magnetic fields’ strength and structure. Considerable research has been devoted to the vexed question on the origin of magnetic fields. One hypothesis is that WD magnetic fields are of fossil origin, that is, their progenitors are the magnetic main-sequence Ap/Bp stars and magnetic flux is conserved during their evolution. The other hypothesis is that magnetic fields arise from binary interaction, through differential rotation, during common envelope evolution. If the two stars merge the end product is a single high-field MWD. If close binaries survive and the primary develops a strong field, they may later evolve into the arXiv:2001.10147v1 [astro-ph.SR] 28 Jan 2020 magnetic cataclysmic variables (MCVs).

    Binary Evolution Novae, Supernovae, and X-ray Sources http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ http://www.space.com/32150-farthest-galaxy-smashes-cosmic-distance-record.html The Algol Mystery • Algol is a double-lined eclipsing binary system with a period of about 3 days (very short). The two stars are: Star A: B8, 3.4Mo main-sequence star Star B: G5, 0.8Mo `subgiant’ star What is wrong with this picture? (very short period is a clue) Algol • The more massive star (A) should have left the main sequence and started up the RGB before the less massive star (B). • What is going on here? • The key is the short-period orbit and the evolved state of star B. Mass Transfer in Binaries • In the case of Algol, Star B, which initially had a mass of 3.0 Mo transferred 2.2Mo of material to Star A, which initially was 1.2 Mo, after it became a red giant. Star A: 1.2Mo -> 3.4Mo (main sequence) Star B: 3.0Mo -> 0.8Mo (red giant) Binary Star Evolution surface of equal total potential energy – including rotation “Roche Lobe” Mass exchange can greatly alter stellar evolution. It can change the composition we see on the surface of a star and can alter the lifetime and luminosity of both stars. Also … • When a massive star becomes a red giant, it may spill its H-envelope onto its companion changing the evolution of both. E.g. Type Ib supernova • After the (initially) more massive star has died, interesting systems can be created in which one “star” is a white dwarf, neutron star, or black hole, with another more ordinary star spilling matter onto it.

We show that all these light curves are homologous and a universal law can be derived by introducing a “time scaling factor.” The template light curve for the universal law has a slope of the flux, F ∝ t−1.75, in the middle part (from ∼ 2 to ∼ 6 mag below the optical maximum) but it declines more steeply, F ∝ t−3.5, in the later part (from ∼ 6 to ∼ 10 mag), where t is the time from the outburst in units of days. This break on the light curve is due to a quick decrease in the wind mass loss rate. The nova evolutions are approximately scaled by the time of break. Once the time of break is observationally determined, we can derive the period of a UV burst phase, the duration of optically thick wind phase, and the turnoff date of hydrogen shell-burning. An empirical −1.75 observational formula, t3 =(1.68±0.08) t2 +(1.9±1.5) days, is derived from the relation of F ∝ t , where t2 and t3 arethe times indaysduringwhicha novadecaysby2and3 magfrom the optical maximum, respectively.
