Request for Observations of V405 Peg
Active Dates: Dec. 28, 2009 – Dec. 30, 2009
Abstract:
Dr. Axel Schwope (Astrophysikalisches Institut Potsdam) requests time-series monitoring of the magnetic cataclysmic variable V405 Pegasi, beginning 2009 December 28 (JD 2455193.5) and continuing through 2009 December 30 (JD 2455196.5). These observations are requested in support of a planned XMM-Newton observation of V405 Peg on 2009 December 29 beginning at 18:51 UT (JD 2455195.2854) and continuing for 12.5 hours.
Justification:
Observers are asked to provide intensive coverage during the three day window centered on the XMM-Newton observation to provide information on the activity state of V405 Peg, to improve the orbital ephemeris, and to provide optical data that will help constrain the spectral energy distribution of this poorly understood cataclysmic variable.
