We present intermediate resolution spectroscopy of the dwarf nova CY UMa in quiescence. From the radial velocities of the Hα emission, we derive an orbital...
The orbital period of V458 Vulpeculae, a post-double common-envelope nova
We present time-resolved optical spectroscopy of V458 Vulpeculae (Nova Vul 2007 No. 1) spread over a period of 15 months starting 301d after its discovery. Our...
We present our on-going project to unveil the post-nova population by re-discovering old novae that have been lost after the initial outburst and in which the...
The properties of cataclysmic variables in photometric Hα surveys
We report on the properties of 71 known cataclysmic variables (CVs) in photometric Hα emission-line surveys. Our study is motivated by the fact that the Isaac...
The return of the spin period in DW Cnc and evidence of new high state outbursts
DW Cnc is an intermediate polar which has previously been observed in both high and low states. Observations of the high state of DW Cnc have previously...
The spectroscopic evolution of the recurrent nova T Pyxidis during its 2011 outburst (Corrigendum). I. The optically thick phase and the origin of moving lines in novae
We correct the velocities quoted for interstellar absorption features from Shore et al. (2011), A&A, 533, L8.
The spectroscopic evolution of the recurrent nova T Pyxidis during its 2011 outburst. I. The optically thick phase and the origin of moving lines in novae
Aims: We aim to derive the physical properties of the recurrent nova T Pyx and the structure of the ejecta during the early stages of expansion of the 2011...
The system parameters of the polars MR SER and ST LMi
We obtain the NaI lambdalambda8183, 8195 absorption-line radial velocity curves for the polars ST LMi and MR Ser, from which we find the semi-amplitudes to be K...
The Wendelstein Calar Alto Pixellensing Project (WeCAPP): the M 31 nova catalogue
We present light curves from the novae detected in the long-term, M 31-monitoring WeCAPP project. The goal of WeCAPP is to constrain the compact dark matter...
