A search for oscillations in 11 dwarf novae during their outbursts

  • 1. Tel Aviv Univ. (Israel). Dept. of Physics and Astronomy

Description

11 dwarf novae were observed during their outbursts, and their light curves were analysed for the presence of oscillations. Oscillations were found in four objects: KT Per (22.5-29.5 s), SY Cnc (33.5-20.3 s), AH Her (24.1-25.0 s) and EM Cyg (16.6 s). Oscillations were found to occur during both the ascending and descending parts of the outbursts. For three objects (KT Per, SY Cnc and AH Her) relationships were found between the period of oscillation and the brightness of the star relative to its minimum brightness. (author)
