20个激变变星或相关天体的分光证认

在２０个研究得很少的激变变星或者曾经被分类为激变变星的相关天体的光谱中,１３个被证实为属于激变变星（６５％）,另外７个似乎应该被排除（表１第８列）,不像其他研究者那样,仅给出非激变变星或热天体,还以更强的证据和更多的光谱特征征认出１个ＤＡ型白矮星,４个双星系统及其子星的光谱型。新的光谱资料不支持ＦＹ Ｐｅｒ的Ｈｅｒｂｉｇ Ａｅ／Ｂｅ分类,它是一个激变变星。对于ＰＧ１７１２＋４９３,不仅给出星和云的     

短周期激变变星周期分布的新统计

我们对周期小于周期分布空缺段的激变变星，重新进行了周期分布统计，使用了比Ｗａｒｎｅｒ等人更多，更新的资料，统计中发现一个ＡＭＨｅｒ型ＣＶｓ：ＧＲＵＶ１偏离了Ｗａｒｎｅｒ等人的统计结果，我们给出了ＣＶＳ新的周期分布图和相应于此分布的随机概率。虽然结果与Ｗａｒｎｅｒ等人的不同，但周期分布同磁场仍呈现一定的相关性，磁激变变星与非磁激变变星同样显示出成团趋势。     

7个ROSAT源被证认为激变变星

1990年6月发射的ROSAT卫星完成了全天的X射线巡天观测,得到了包括18811个X射线源的ROSAT全天巡天亮源表（RASS－BSC）。通过对ROSAT亮X射线源不学对应体的证认,我们已经发现了7个激变变星,给出了这7个激变变星的低色散光谱,并根据它们的光谱特征及其它性质进行了讨论。     

PG激变星候选天体的光变曲线

我们于1989年用北京天文台兴隆观测站的60/90/180厘米施密特望远镜及Thomson红敏CCD对14个PG候选激变变星进行光度观测.其光变曲线特性表明:PG0027+260,PG0818+513,和PC1030+590为激变食变星,PG1341—079 是一个可能的激变食变星,PG1551+719为SU UM_a型矮新星,此外还有6个天体的光变曲线有激变星特有的闪变特征.因此PG样本中,激变变星的成功率为79％.PG1030+590的轨道周期为3~h279,PG1717+413的闪变变幅在二个月内有明显变化,它与本身的亮度无明显相关,说明闪变变幅的变化可能是亮斑的局部效应.

Short-term brightness variations of V747 Cyg

We have conducted high-speed photometric observations of the suspected cataclysmic variable V747 Cyg. The literature data about the spectra of this star are conflicting. Zwitter and Munari [A&AS 107 (1994) 503] obtained spectroscopic observations which confirmed the cataclysmic variable nature of V747 Cyg, whereas Downes et al. [AJ 110 (1995) 1824] have concluded that this object may be a Be + M binary rather than a cataclysmic variable. Our observations revealed the complete absence of the rapid flickering in this star at a millimagnitude level. This phenomenon is to be inherent in all cataclysmic variables. Instead, the lightcurves of V747 Cyg showed probably periodic smooth low-amplitude variations that were visible during each observational night. When V747 Cyg was observed in two colours simultaneously, these variations had the equal phases and amplitudes. A periodogram analysis revealed probable periods of 5.77, 7.41 and 7.59 h. These periods and the amplitude as well as the oscillation behaviour in the different colours are typical of variable Be stars. Hence, V747 Cyg may be a variable Be star but not a cataclysmic variable.

Rapid oscillations in cataclysmic variables

Two Cataclysmic Variables Identified from ROSAT Bright Sources

This paper presents the results of optical spectroscopic observations of two ROSAT bright sources, 1RXS J020928.9 283243 and 1RXS J042332.8 745300. The low-dispersion spectra suggest the cataclysmic variable classification for the two objects.Further photometric observations are expected to reveal the variable features and to confirm the classifications.     

A unified model of dwarf nova outbursts based on the disk instability

A unified model for outbursts of dwarf novae is proposed based on the disk instability model in cataclysmic variable stars. In this model, two different intrinsic instabilities (i.e., the thermal instability and the tidal instability) within accretion disks are considered in non-magnetic cataclysmic variable stars. It is suggested that all of three sub-classes of dwarf novae (i.e., U Gem-type, Z Cam-type and SU UMa-type dwarf novae) may be explained in terms of two model parameters of the orbital period of the binary and of the mass transfer rate within the framework of the disk instability model.     

The stellar mass ratio of GK Persei

We study the absorption lines present in the spectra of the long-period cataclysmic variable GK Per during its quiescent state, which are associated with the secondary star. By comparing quiescent data with outburst spectra we infer that the donor star appears identical during the two states and the inner face of the secondary star is not noticeably irradiated by flux from the accreting regions. We obtain new values for the radial velocity semi-amplitude of the secondary star,     , a projected rotational velocity,     and consequently a measurement of the stellar mass ratio of GK Per,     . The inferred white dwarf radial velocities are greater than those measured traditionally using the wings of Doppler-broadened emission lines suspected to originate in an accretion disc, highlighting the unsuitability of emission lines for mass determinations in cataclysmic variables. We determine mass limits for both components in the binary,     and     .     

A study of optically featureless objects from the EC Survey: searching for new southern BL Lac objects

In an attempt to discover new southern BL Lac objects, 14 optically featureless objects from the Edinburgh–Cape Survey were selected. Optical polarimetry and spectroscopy, radio and IR observations were carried out in order to improve their classifications. The 14 objects were examined according to special criteria that are described. Their UBV and JHK colour–colour distributions, spectrograms, radio observations and visible-region polarimetry were utilized to conclude that the selected objects are not BL Lacs. Most of them are apparently not extragalactic objects. It is suggested that four of the 14 candidates are DC white dwarfs, one is a QSO, three are DA white dwarfs or sdB subdwarfs, one is a cataclysmic variable, one is a DAO/sdO and another is possibly a DA+dM binary (composite system with a 'primary' hot white dwarf and a 'secondary' M-type main-sequence dwarf) or a cataclysmic variable. One object is likely to be a subdwarf, while two remain unclassifiable.     

The X-ray pulse profile of BG CMi

We present an analysis of the X-ray data of a magnetic cataclysmic variable, BG CMi, obtained with ROSAT in March 1992 and with ASCA in April 1996. We show that four peaks clearly exist in the X-ray pulse profile, unlike a single peak found in the optical profile. The fluxes of two major pulses are 2–5 times larger than those of two minor pulses. The fraction of the total pulsed flux increases from 51% to 85% with increasing energy in 0.1–2.0 keV, whereas it decreases from 96% to 22% in 0.8–10 keV. We discuss the implications of our findings for the origin of the pulse profile and its energy dependence.     

Photometric study of the variable star population in the globular cluster NGC 6397

We present the results of a photometric survey for variable stars in the central region of the nearby globular cluster NGC 6397. Time-series photometry was obtained for 30 variable objects. The sample includes 12 new objects, of which six show periodic light curves and two are eclipsing binaries of unknown period. Six variables possess certain and three possess likely X-ray counterparts detected with the Chandra observatory. Among them, four are cataclysmic variables and one is a foreground eclipsing binary. The cataclysmic variable CV2 exhibited a likely dwarf nova type outburst in 2003 May. The cataclysmic variable CV3 was observed at  18.5 < V < 20.0  during five observing runs, but went into a low state in 2003 May when it reached   V > 22  . We have found that the light curve of the optical companion to the millisecond pulsar PSR J1740−5340 exhibits noticeable changes of its amplitude on a time-scale of a few months. A shallow eclipse with  Δ V = 0.03 mag  was detected in one of the cluster turn-off stars suggesting the presence of a large planet or brown dwarf in orbit.     

V348 Puppis: a new SW Sex star in the period gap

We present time-resolved optical spectroscopy and photometry of the nova-like cataclysmic variable V348 Puppis. The system displays the same spectroscopic behaviour as SW Sex stars, so we classify V348 Pup as a new member of the class. V348 Pup is the second SW Sex system (the first is V795 Herculis) which lies in the period gap. The spectra exhibit enhanced He  ii λ 4686 emission, reminiscent of magnetic cataclysmic variables. The study of this emission line gives a primary velocity semi-amplitude of     . We have also derived the system parameters, obtaining:     ,         ,     and     . The spectroscopic behaviour of V348 Pup is very similar to that of V795 Her, with the exception that V348 Pup shows deep eclipses. We have computed the '0.5-absorption' spectrum of both systems, obtaining spectra that resemble the absorption spectrum of a B0 V star. We propose that absorption in SW Sex systems can be produced by a vertically extended atmosphere which forms where the gas stream re-impacts the system, either at the accretion disc or at the magnetosphere of the white dwarf (assuming a magnetic scenario).
