Monitoring of Northern dwarf novae for radio jets
Active Dates: Oct. 24, 2014 – Sept. 30, 2015
Abstract:
Ms. Deanne Coppejans (PhD candidate, Radboud University Nijmegen (Netherlands) and University of Cape Town) and colleagues have requested AAVSO observer assistance in monitoring several dwarf novae in support of their campaign to observe them in outburst with the Very Large Array (VLA) to search for radio jets.
Justification:
By observing a more extensive sample of cataclysmic variables in outburst we will determine the existence of jets or other outflows in these accreting binary systems. These observations will decide if either CVs do show jets and thus support a universal link between accretion and ejection, or if they do not show jets, further constraining future jet models.
