[Abridged] We classify AT 2020zso as a TDE based on the blackbody evolution inferred from UV/optical photometric observations, and spectral line content and evolution. We identify transient, double-peaked Bowen (N III), He I, He II and…

We analyze the ultraviolet spectrum of the cataclysmic variable GK Per at maximum light. The flat ultraviolet spectrum in this system requires a truncated inner accretion disk and an unusually flat radial temperature profile. This…

We have analyzed phase-resolved photometric and spectroscopic observations of the eclipsing polar SDSS J002637.06+242915.6. The light curve has a M-shaped bright phase that was reproduced using a simple model of an accreting magnetic white…

We analysed an X-ray light curve of the dwarf nova RU Peg taken by XMM-Newton with a duration of 46300 s. The power density spectrum has a complicated shape with two red noise and two white noise components, indicating the presence of two…

We report on our first results from a mid-infrared spectroscopic study of ISM features in a sample of deeply obscured ULIRG nuclei using the InfraRed Spectrograph (IRS) on the Spitzer Space Telescope. The spectra are extremely rich and…

Recently, mid-infrared Spitzer observations have been presented that show the light decrement due to the passage of a planet behind its host star. These measurements of HD209458b and TrES-1 are the first detections of direct light from an…

The linear threshold condition of the mirror mode including weak drift and finite Larmor radius effects is analysed and shown that it can be given to arbitrary precision in closed analytical form. Combined with observations of mirror modes…

We present limits on transit timing variations and secondary eclipse depth variations at 8 microns with the Spitzer Space Telescope IRAC camera. Due to the weak limb darkening in the infrared and uninterrupted observing, Spitzer provides…

Desert mirages were simulated in the laboratory by heating a flat surface of sand. This showed that a boundary layer of air, of only a few millimeters immediately covering a heated surface has nearly the same thickness over a wide range of…

Published mid infrared spectra of transiting planets HD 209458b and HD 189733b, obtained during secondary eclipse by the InfraRed Spectrograph (IRS) aboard the Spitzer Space Telescope, are predominantly featureless. In particular these flux…

U Gem is unique in having a direct measurement of K1 = 107 +- 2 km/s, Long et al. 1999). We present high-resolution optical spectra of the dwarf nova U Gem in quiescence taken to test the accuracy to which the HST value can be recovered…

The detection of a dust disc around G29-38 and transits from debris orbiting WD1145+017 confirmed that the photospheric trace metals found in many white dwarfs arise from the accretion of tidally disrupted planetesimals. The composition of…

HS0907+1902 was recently discovered to be one of a handful of deeply eclipsing dwarf novae with periods longward of the 2 -- 3 hr `gap'. This paper presents orbit-resolved spectra and time series photometry of an eclipse. The apparent…

We describe new optical photometric and spectroscopic observations of the semi-detached eclipsing binary BG Geminorum. A large change in the amount of Mg I absorption at secondary maximum indicates the presence of cool material in the outer…

Mirror Stars are a generic prediction of dissipative dark matter models, including minimal atomic dark matter and twin baryons in the Mirror Twin Higgs. Mirror Stars can capture regular matter from the interstellar medium through extremely…

To study the dust obscured phase of the galaxy evolution during the peak of the Star Formation Rate (SFR) and the Black Hole Accretion Rate (BHAR) density functions ($z = 1 - 4$), rest frame mid-to-far infrared (IR) spectroscopy is needed.…

We present the ultraviolet spectrum of the SW Sex star and nova-like variable DW UMa in an optical low state, as observed with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph on board the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). The data are well described…

Although flickering is one of the fundamental signatures of accretion, it is also the most poorly understood aspect of the accretion processes. A promising step towards a better undestanding of flickering consists in using the eclipse…

We present XMM-Newton observations of the eclipsing polar EP Dra which cover nearly 3 binary orbital cycles. The X-ray and UV data show evidence for a prominent dip before the eclipse which is due to the accretion stream obscuring the…

Flying plasma mirrors induced by intense lasers has been proposed as a promising way to generate few-cycle EUV or X-ray lasers. In addition, if such a relativistic plasma mirror can accelerate, then it would serve as an analog black hole to…
