Discovery of persistent quasi-periodic oscillations in accreting white dwarfs: a new link to X-ray binaries (2024)
Journal Article
Veresvarska, M., Scaringi, S., Knigge, C., Paice, J., Buckley, D. A. H., Segura, N. C., de Martino, D., Groot, P. J., Ingram, A., Irving, Z. A., & Szkody, P. (2024). Discovery of persistent quasi-periodic oscillations in accreting white dwarfs: a new link to X-ray binaries. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 534(4), 3087-3103. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stae2279

Almost all accreting black hole and neutron star (NS) X-ray binary systems (XRBs) exhibit prominent brightness variations on a few characteristic time-scales and their harmonics. These quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) are thought to be associated w...

Burst-induced spin variations in the accreting magnetic white dwarf PBC J0801.2–4625 (2024)
Journal Article
Irving, Z. A., Altamirano, D., Scaringi, S., Veresvarska, M., Knigge, C., Castro Segura, N., …Iłkiewicz, K. (2024). Burst-induced spin variations in the accreting magnetic white dwarf PBC J0801.2–4625. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 530(4), 3974-3985. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stae1103

PBC J0801.2–4625 is an intermediate polar with a primary spin frequency of 66.08 d−1 and an unknown orbital period. The long-term All Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN) light curve of this system reveals four bursts, all of which have simi...

Evolution of spin in the intermediate polar CC sculptoris (2024)
Journal Article
Paice, J. A., Scaringi, S., Castro Segura, N., Sahu, A., Iłkiewicz, K., Coppejans, D. L., …Veresvarska, M. (2024). Evolution of spin in the intermediate polar CC sculptoris. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters, 531(1), L82-L86. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnrasl/slae035

We report on spin variations in the intermediate polar and cataclysmic variable CC Scl, as seen by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). By studying both the spin period and its harmonic, we find that the spin has varied since it was firs... Read More about Evolution of spin in the intermediate polar CC sculptoris.

The Peculiar Bursting Nature of CP Pup (2024)
Journal Article
Veresvarska, M., Scaringi, S., Hagen, S., De Martino, D., Done, C., Ilkiewicz, K., …Littlefield, C. (2024). The Peculiar Bursting Nature of CP Pup. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 529(1), 664-672. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stae573

The classical nova CP Puppis has been observed to have particularly puzzling and peculiar properties. In particular, this classical nova displays occasional bursts in its long-term ASAS-SN light curve. Here, we report on five sectors of TESS data dis...

Classifying Optical (Out)bursts in Cataclysmic Variables: The Distinct Observational Characteristics of Dwarf Novae, Micronovae, Stellar Flares, and Magnetic Gating (2024)
Journal Article

Classifying Optical (Out)bursts in Cataclysmic Variables: The Distinct Observational Characteristics of Dwarf Novae, Micronovae, Stellar Flares, and Magnetic Gating. Astrophysical Journal Letters, 962(2), Article L34. https://doi.org/10.3847/2041-8213/ad243c

Cataclysmic variables can experience short optical brightenings, which are commonly attributed to phenomena such as dwarf novae outbursts, micronovae, donor flares, or magnetic gating bursts. Since these events exhibit similar observational character...

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...

Outer disc edge: properties of low-frequency aperiodic variability in ultracompact interacting binaries (2022)
Journal Article

Flickering, and more specifically aperiodic broad-band variability, is an important phenomenon used in understanding the geometry and dynamics of accretion flows. Although the inner regions of accretion flows are known to generate variability on rela...
