- Description:
- We present the UBV(RI)C photometry of a new dwarf nova V466 And, discovered during its superoutburst on Sept. 1.6, 2008 and classified as a WZ Sge-type object. In the first 11 days of the superoutburst, the early superhumps with the period of 0.056383d were found. In days 13-23 of the superoutburst, the ordinary superhumps with the period of 0.05713d were exposed. They were replaced by late superhumps with the period of 0.056d in days 24-33 of the superoutburst. After one month, the dwarf nova returned to its pre-outburst state. A list of known WZ Sge-type dwarf novae, including suspected ones, is presented. We determined a mean value of superhump period excess for WZ Sge-type objects as {epsilon}=0.019+/-0.003. The multicolour photometry of the field stars enables us to conclude that there is no appreciable interstellar extinction in the direction of V466 And.

- Description:
- The nearby galaxies IC 1613 and NGC 6822 were observed over four years to detect short period Cepheids and to obtain good light curves for Fourier decomposition. The program was carried out with a relatively small telescope, the Dutch 0.9m at ESO-La Silla, and the observations were performed without filter (white light), or Wh-band. In this paper we present the results of the observations of Fields C and D in IC 1613 (3.8'x3.8' each). The analysis of the light curves of 3297 stars in the two fields has allowed the detection of 92 variable stars. A total of 34 Population I Cepheids have been found, while only 7 of these objects were previously known in these fields. Most of the stars have short periods and some of them are first overtone mode pulsators. Among the other variable stars there are one eclipsing binary and five W Vir candidates. A nova event was observed in Field D.

- Description:
- The monitoring of spectral evolution of the very slow nova V723 Cas started at the Asiago Astrophysical Observatory just on the announcement of discovery. In this paper the spectral evolution during the long pre-maximum stage, which lasted from August to December 1995, is reported. Emission lines of H I and Fe II were prominent in the early stage. Most of the lines were accompanied by P Cygni type absorption components. The emission lines gradually weakened with time and the absorption components developed. The mean of the blue-shifts of the absorption components with respect to the emissions was about -126km/s in September and -96km/s in December 1995. Some lines of Fe I, Fe II, Y II, Sc II, Ba II, etc. appeared in the later stage. All emission lines, except for H{alpha}, once nearly disappeared in November when the nova slightly brightened to V=~8.6. Some emission lines appeared again several days before the beginning of the final rise to maximum luminosity, then a pure absorption spectrum of F type supergiant was seen on the maximum of V=~7.1 at the middle of December. The absorption components of Si II lines at 634.7 and 637.1nm showed fairly different profiles from those of the other metallic lines, which suggests a complicated gas motion in the atmosphere. The distance and the absolute magnitude at maximum are estimated to be 2.95+/-0.7kpc and M_V_(max)=-6.1+/-0.5, respectively. The mass of the white dwarf in this system may be about 0.58+/-0.07M_{sun}_.

- Description:
- As a result of the next cycle of our long-term monitoring, we present our UBV JHKLM photometry for the symbiotic nova V1016 Cyg in 2008-2014. The star continued to systematically fade and redden in UBV: over this period, the brightness declined by 0.1m in V and by 0.2m in B and U ,the B-V color index increased by 0.1m, and U-B barely changed. On the color-color (U-B, B-V) diagram, the star moved approximately horizontally rightward with a slight bluing in U-B starting from 2000. Our JHKLM photometry has shown a decline in the mean infrared (IR) brightness and a rise in the mean IR color indices after 2004 due to an increase in the optical depth of the dust envelope. The brightness decline and reddening of the Mira in the near infrared reached their extreme values over the entire period of the system's observations by the end of 2014. The pulsation period of the Mira is determined with confidence: P=465+/-5-days. The distance to the Mira, D=2.92+/-0.16kpc, ant its parameters, the radius R*=(470+/-50)R_{sun}_ and luminosity L*=(9200+/=1900)L_{sun}_, have been estimated from the observations of V1016 Cyg at its maximum J brightness and at its minimum J-H color index. The temperature of the star during its pulsations varied within the range T* =2100-2700K. We have estimated the parameters of the dust envelope near its maximum (in 2004) and minimum (in 2012-2014) IR brightness. The mass of the dust envelope almost doubled in ten years, with the rate of dust supply being {Delta}Md~10^-7^M_{sun}_/yr. Using a low-resolution spectrograph, we performed absolute spectrophotometry for V1016 Cyg in 1995-2013 in the range {lambda}4340-7130{AA}. We have shown that almost all absolute fluxes in lines and in continuum at {lambda}4400{AA} decrease monotonically after 2000, while the relative intensities of [OIII], [FeVII], and [CaVII] lines increase after the minimum that probably occurred in the 1990s. The significant (approximately by a factor of 10 from 1995 to 2013) decrease of the flux in the Raman OVI {lambda}6825 line reflects a change of conditions in the formation zone of this line due to the absorption of some OVI {lambda}1032 photons in the newly forming dust envelope of the cool component.

- Description:
- The outburst of the symbiotic recurrent nova V407 Cyg in 2010 has been studied by numerous authors. On the other hand, its spectral variations in the quiescent stage have not been well studied yet. This paper is probably the first report for the relation between the pulsation of the secondary Mira variable and the temperature of the primary hot component for V407 Cyg. The spectral variation in the post-outburst stage has been monitored to study the properties of this object. In the course of this work, we found some unexpected spectral variations around the light maximum of the secondary Mira variable in 2012. The relation between the mass transfer in the binary system and the pulsation of the secondary Mira variable is studied. High- and low-resolution optical spectra obtained at the Astronomical Observatories at Asiago were used. The photometric data depend on the database of the VSNET.

- Description:
- V-band CCD observations of the cataclysmic variable V795 Her obtained between 2008 and 2010. The observing run on a given night consisted of a dense series of V-band images (exposure time of 20 seconds). Heliocentric Julian Date of each CCD image is given for the center of the exposure. A typical standard deviation of a single measurement of the magnitude of V795 Her on a given CCD frame was about 0.01 mag. GSC 02595-00575 (GSC2.3 N3JJ000148) was used as the comparison star (abbreviated as C) while GSC 02595-00718 served as the check star (abbreviated as C1).

- VI light curves and spectra of V479 And
- Short Name:
- J/A+A/553/A28
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We conducted a multi-wavelength study to unveil the properties of the extremely long-period cataclysmic variable V479 And. We performed series of observations, including moderate to high spectral resolution optical spectrophotometry, X-ray observations with Swift, linear polarimetry and near-IR photometry. This binary system is a low-inclination ~17{deg} system with a 0.594093(4) day orbital period. The absorption line complex in the spectra indicate a G8-K0 spectral type for the donor star, which has departed from the zero-age main sequence. This implies a distance to the object of about 4kpc. The primary is probably a massive 1.1-1.4M_{sun}_ magnetic white dwarf, accreting matter at a rate dM/dt>10^-10^M_{sun}_/yr. This rate can be achieved if the donor star fills its corresponding Roche lobe, but there is little observational evidence for a mass-transfer stream in this system. An alternative explanation is a stellar wind from the donor star, although such a high rate mass loss is not anticipated from a subgiant. If the strongly magnetic white dwarf in V479 And is confirmed by future observations, the system the polar with the longest observed orbital period. We also discuss the evolutionary state of V479 And.

- VLBA SiO masers toward V838 Monocerotis
- Short Name:

- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present multi-epoch observations with the VLBA of SiO maser emission in the v=1, J=1-0 transition at 43GHz from the remnant of the red nova V838 Mon. We model the positions of maser spots to derive a parallax of 0.166+/-0.060mas. Combining this parallax with other distance information results in a distance of 5.6+/-0.5kpc, which agrees with an independent geometric distance of 6.1+/-0.6kpc from modeling polarimetry images of V838 Mon's light echo. Combining these results, and including a weakly constraining Gaia DR2 parallax, yields a best estimate of distance of 5.9+/-0.4kpc. The maser spots are located close to the peaks of continuum at ~225GHz and SiO J=5-4 thermal emission detected with ALMA. The proper motion of V838 Mon confirms its membership in a small open cluster in the Outer spiral arm of the Milky Way.

- Description:
- In 2010 March, the Large Area Telescope on board Fermi revealed a transient gamma-ray source that is positionally coincident with the optical nova in the symbiotic binary, V407 Cyg. This event marked the first discovery of gamma-ray emission from a nova. We aim to obtain resolved radio imaging of the material involved in the nova event, to determine the ejecta geometry and advance velocity directly in the image plane, and to constrain the physical conditions of the system. We observed the source with the European VLBI (Very Long Baseline Interferometry) Network in real time mode, at 1.6 and 5GHz, and the Very Long Baseline Array at 1.6, 5, and 8.4GHz. In total, we observed the source over 16 epochs, starting 20 days after the optical discovery and continuing for over six months. Milliarcsecond-scale radio emission is detected in 10/16 epochs of observations. The source is initially very dim but it later shows a substantial increase in brightness and a resolved shell-like structure 40-90 days after the optical event. The shell has a projected elliptical shape and is asymmetric in brightness and spectral index, being brighter and characterised by a rising spectrum at the south-eastern edge. We determine a projected expansion velocity of ~3500km/s in the initial phase (for an adopted 2.7kpc distance), and ~2100km/s between day 20 and 91. We also found an emitting feature about 350 mas (940AU) to the north-west, advancing at a projected velocity of ~700km/s along the polar axis of the binary. The total flux density in the VLBI images is significantly lower than that previously reported at similar epochs and over much wider angular scales with the VLA. Optical spectra convincingly demonstrated that in 2010 we were viewing V407 Cyg along the equatorial plane and from behind the Mira. Our radio observations image the bipolar flow of the ejecta perpendicular to the orbital plane, where deceleration is much lower than through the equatorial plane probed by the truncated profile of optical emission lines. The separated polar knot at 350 mas and the bipolar flow strictly resemble a similar arrangement seen in Hen 2-104, another symbiotic Mira seen equator-on that went through a large outburst ~5700yrs ago. The observed ~700km/s expansion constrains the launch date of the polar knot around 2004, during the accretion-fed active phase preceding the 2010 nova outburst.

- Description:
- We report an analysis of photometric behaviour of DI UMa, an extremely active dwarf nova. The observational campaign (completed in 2007) covers five superoutbursts and four normal outbursts. We examined principal parameters of the system to understand peculiarities of DI UMa, and other active cataclysmic variables. Based on precise photometric measurements, temporal light curve behaviour, O-C analysis, and power spectrum analysis, we investigated physical parameters of the system. We found that the period of the supercycle now equals 31.45+/-0.3days. Observations during superoutbursts infer that the period of superhumps equals P_sh_=0.055318(11)days (79.66+/-0.02min). During quiescence, the light curve reveals a modulation of period P_orb_=0.054579(6)days (78.59+/-0.01min), which we interpret as the orbital period of the binary system. The values obtained allowed us to determine a fractional period excess of 1.35+/-0.02%, which is surprisingly small compared to the usual value for dwarf novae (2%-5%). A detailed O-C analysis was performed for two superoutbursts with the most comprehensive coverage. In both cases, we detected an increase in the superhump period with a mean rate of (dP/dt)/P_sh_=4.4(1.0)x10^-5^. Based on these measurements, we confirm that DI UMa is probably a period bouncer, an old system that reached its period minimum a long time ago, has a secondary that became a degenerate brown dwarf, the entire system evolving now toward longer periods. DI UMa is an extremely interesting object because we know only one more active ER UMa star with similar characteristics (IX Dra).
