I.; Falcon, Ross E.; Chandler, Dean W.; Kuehne, J. W.; Sullivan, Denis J.; Reaves, D.; von Hippel, Ted; Mullally, Fergal; Shipman, H.; Thompson, Susan E.; Silvestri, N. M.; Hynes, Robert I. (2013-07)

We have finally measured the evolutionary rate of cooling of the pulsating hydrogen atmosphere (DA) white dwarf ZZ Ceti (Ross 548), as reflected by the drift rate of the 213.13260694 s period. Using 41 yr of time-series ...

First Unambiguous Detection of the Return of Pulsations in the Accreting White Dwarf SDSS J074531.92+453829.6 After an Outburst

Mukadam, Anjum S.; Townsley, D. M.; Szkody, P.; Gansicke, B. T.; Winget, D. E.; Hermes, J. J.; Howell, Steve B.; Teske, J.; Patterson, J.; Kemp, J.; Armstrong, Eve (2011-02)

The primary white dwarf of the cataclysmic variable SDSS J074531.92+453829.6 was discovered to exhibit non-radial pulsations in 2006 January. This accreting white dwarf underwent its first recorded dwarf nova outburst in ...

Rapid Orbital Decay in the 12.75-Minute Binary White Dwarf J0651+2844

Hermes, J. J.; Kilic, Mukremin; Brown, Warren R.; Winget, D. E.; Prieto, Carlos Allende; Gianninas, A.; Mukadam, Anjum S.; Cabrera-Lavers, Antonio; Kenyon, Scott J. (2012-10)

We report the detection of orbital decay in the 12.75-minute, detached binary white dwarf (WD) SDSS J065133.338+284423.37 (hereafter J0651). Our photometric observations over a 13 month baseline constrain the orbital period ...

HST And Optical Data Reveal White Dwarf Cooling, Spin, And Periodicities In GW Librae 3-4 Years After Outburst

Szkody, Paula; Mukadam, Anjum S.; Gansicke, Boris T.; Henden, Arne; Sion, Edward M.; Townsley, Dean; Chote, Paul; Harmer, Diane; Harpe, Eric J.; Hermes, J. J.; Sullivan, Denis J.; Winget, D. E. (2012-07)

Since the large amplitude 2007 outburstwhich heated its accreting, pulsatingwhite dwarf, the dwarf nova system GW Librae has been cooling to its quiescent temperature. Our Hubble Space Telescope ultraviolet spectra combined ...
