Utilizing the unique location of red clump giants on colour-magnitude diagrams obtained from various near-infrared surveys, we derived specific reddening...
The donor star radial velocity curve in the cataclysmic variable GY Cnc confirms white dwarf eclipse modelling mass
A large number of white dwarf and donor masses in cataclysmic variables have been found via modelling the primary eclipse, a method that relies on untested...
The evolutionary status of Cataclysmic Variables: eclipse modelling of 15 systems
We present measurements of the component masses in 15 Cataclysmic Variables (CVs) - 6 new estimates and 9 improved estimates. We provide new calibrations of the...
The fight for accretion: discovery of intermittent mass transfer in BB Doradus in the low state
Our long-term photometric monitoring of southern nova-like cataclysmic variables with the 1.3-m Small and Moderate Aperture Research Telescope System (SMARTS)...
The growth of the outflows from evolved stars: A live poster
We present our long-term monitoring, using both ground-based telescopes and the HST, of the expansion in the plane of the sky of the outflows from evolved stars...
We study the mid-egress eclipse timing data gathered for the cataclysmic binary HU Aquarii during the years 1993-2014. The (O-C) residuals were previously...
The intermediate polar cataclysmic variable GK Persei 120 years after the nova explosion: a first dynamical mass study
We present a dynamical study of the intermediate polar and dwarf nova cataclysmic variable GK Persei (Nova Persei 1901) based on a multisite optical...
Context. M31N 2015-01a (or M31LRN 2015) is a red nova that erupted in January 2015 - the first event of this kind observed in M 31 since 1988. Very few similar...
The K-band spectrum of the cataclysmic variable RXJ 0502.8+1624 (Tau 4)
We present the K-band spectrum of the cataclysmic variable RXJ 0502.8+1624 (Tau 4). The spectrum shows a broad, smooth hump, with no absorption lines from the...
