An atlas of Doppler emission-line tomography of cataclysmic variable stars

Doppler emission-line tomography is a technique similar to medical tomography. In this atlas the emission-line profiles of cataclysmic variable stars, seen at different orbital phases, are transformed into velocity space images. This transformation makes many of the complex line profile changes easier to interpret. The emission contributions of the disk and the s-wave are clearly separated in these images, and any emission from the stream and the secondary star can often be identified. In this atlas, Doppler tomograms of Hbeta, He I lambda 4471, and He II lambda 4686 emission lines of 18 cataclysmic variable stars are presented. The Doppler images provide insights into the individual systems and a better technique for measuring and radial velocity amplitude of the white dwarf.

CP Puppis - No ordinary old nova

James C. White; R. K. Honeycutt; K. Horne

We present spectrophotometric data for the old nova CP Puppis (Nova Puppis 1942) that demonstrates the simultaneous existence of two distinct periods for the system. We find that the photometric period of 0.06834(7) day is 11 percent longer than the spectroscopic period. We also present Doppler tomographic images of CP Pup that indicate the existence of an accretion disk in the system. Finally, we interpret the observational evidence in terms of a DQ Herculis model and an SU Ursae Majoris model for CP Pup. While the evidence mildly supports both interpretations, it is insufficient for us to conclusively classify CP Pup as either a DQ Her system or an SU UMa system.

Spectroscopy of the Cataclysmic Variable UU Aquarii: s-Waves and Bright Spots

Ronald H. Kaitchuck; Eric M. Schlegel; James C. White; Cathy S. Mansperger

This paper reports the results of UV and optical spectroscopy of the nova-like variable UU Aqr. There is a decrease in the light flux of both the optical and UV emission lines at phase ~0.95. This appears to be due to an occultation of an asymmetric accretion disk. The emission-line profiles seem to show the first half of the rotational disturbance of the disk eclipse. There is a secondary eclipse at phase 0.4 in the optical continuum and the hydrogen emission lines. It is not present in the UV continuum or emission lines. This eclipse occurs when the bright spot is at superior conjunction. This raises the possibility that this is an occultation of the bright spot/s-wave region by material suspended above the central disk. The accretion disk emission in the Doppler tomogram of the Hβ emission line was used to obtain the radial velocity amplitude of the white dwarf star. The mass ratio was estimated by matching the s-wave position with stream trajectories. The results were significantly different from that of Baptista et al. These authors used the eclipse phasing of the continuum hot spot and the assumption that the hot spot is located on the stream trajectory. The reasons for this discrepancy are unclear.
