      (České vysoké učení technické v PrazeCzech Technical University in Prague, 2015)
      Long term modulations have been detected in a wide variety of both low and high-mass X-ray binaries. The All Sky Monitor on board the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer provides the most extensive (~15 years) and sensitive X-ray ...
    • SS Cygni Revisited 

      Autor: Smith, R. C.; Echevarrıa, J.; Hernandez, J. V.; Szkody, P.
      (České vysoké učení technické v PrazeCzech Technical University in Prague, 2015)
      New spectroscopic and photometric observations of SS Cygni, the brightest dwarf nova system, have been obtained, with the aim of mapping starspots on the surface of the secondary star. Four nights of echelle spectroscopy ...

    • High-Speed Photo-Polarimetry of Magnetic Cataclysmic Variables 

      Autor: Potter, S. B.
      (České vysoké učení technické v PrazeCzech Technical University in Prague, 2015)
      I review recent highlights of the SAAO High-speed Photo-POlarimeter (HIPPO) on the study of magnetic Cataclysmic Variables. Its high-speed capabilities are demonstrated with example observations made of the intermediate ...
    • Flickering in CVs and Accretion Disc Viscosity 

      Autor: Baptista, R.
      (České vysoké učení technické v PrazeCzech Technical University in Prague, 2015)
      I review observational constraints on accretion disc viscosity inferred from changes of disc structure with time and from disc flickering distributions. The radial run of the disc viscosity parameter in four cases are ...
