Request to monitor V426 Oph for XMM Newton observations
Active Dates: Jan. 17, 2006 – April 6, 2006
Abstract:
Dr. Darren Baskill, University of Leicester, has requested optical observations of the cataclysmic variable star V426 Oph to coincide with upcoming XMM-Newton observations.
Justification:
Optical observations before, during and after the observing run are needed to correlate the X-Ray data with optical because the primary question is whether we will clearly see the periodic modulation that was hinted at in the ASCA observation. This could settle the published claims and counterclaims that this system is indeed an intermediate polar.
