V603 Aql photometry and spectroscopy requested
Active Dates: May 11, 2021 – June 30, 2021
Abstract:
The purpose of this campaign is to continue the photometric study of the classical nova V603 Aql (N Aql 1918). Of particular interest is the behaviour of the photometric period (superhump) associated with this object. This campaign will form part of a study of the superhump phenomena exhibited by V603 Aql since it was first found in the system light curves in the early 1980’s.
Justification:
These observations will form part of a study of the superhump phenomena exhibited by V603 Aql since it was first found in the system light curves in the early 1980’s. The system displays both negative (shorter than orbital period) and positive (longer than orbital period) superhumps. Studies of this phenomena have shown the prominent photometric period to drift between positive and negative. The confirmation of which period is currently dominant gives insight into the accretion disk mechanics at play and the relationship of the white dwarf star and its donor.
