Digging a little deeper: characterizing three new extreme ULX candidates (2023)
Journal Article
Roberts, T. P., Walton, D. J., Mackenzie, A. D. A., Heida, M., & Scaringi, S. (2023). Digging a little deeper: characterizing three new extreme ULX candidates. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 525(3), 3330-3343. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stad2367

A prime motivation for compiling catalogues of any celestial X-ray source is to increase our numbers of rare subclasses. In this work, we take a recent multimission catalogue of ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) and look for hitherto poorly-studied...

Cataclysmic variables are a key population of gravitational wave sources for LISA (2023)
Journal Article
Scaringi, S., Breivik, K., Littenberg, T. B., Knigge, C., Groot, P. J., & Veresvarska, M. (2023). Cataclysmic variables are a key population of gravitational wave sources for LISA. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters, 525(1), L50-L55. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnrasl/slad093

The gravitational wave (GW) signals from the Galactic population of cataclysmic variables (CVs) have yet to be carefully assessed. Here, we estimate these signals and evaluate their significance for Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA). First, w...

SDSS J134441.83+204408.3: A Highly Asynchronous Short-period Magnetic Cataclysmic Variable with a 56 MG Field Strength. Astrophysical Journal Letters, 943(2), Article L24. https://doi.org/10.3847/2041-8213/acaf04

When the accreting white dwarf in a magnetic cataclysmic variable star (mCV) has a field strength in excess of 10 MG, it is expected to synchronize its rotational frequency to the binary orbit frequency, particularly at small binary separations, due...

Kepler K2 and TESS Observations of Two Magnetic Cataclysmic Variables: The New Asynchronous Polar SDSS J084617.11+245344.1 and Paloma (2023)
Journal Article

Kepler K2 and TESS Observations of Two Magnetic Cataclysmic Variables: The New Asynchronous Polar SDSS J084617.11+245344.1 and Paloma. Astronomical Journal, 165(2), Article 43. https://doi.org/10.3847/1538-3881/aca1a5

There have been relatively few published long-duration, uninterrupted light curves of magnetic cataclysmic variable stars in which the accreting white dwarf's rotational frequency is slightly desynchronized from the binary orbital frequency. We repor... Read More about Kepler K2 and TESS Observations of Two Magnetic Cataclysmic Variables: The New Asynchronous Polar SDSS J084617.11+245344.1 and Paloma.
