XMM-Newton observations of the dwarf nova RU Peg in quiescence: Probe of the boundary layer
Solen Balman,Patrick Godon,Patrick Godon,Edward M. Sion,Jan-Uwe Ness,Eric M. Schlegel,P. Barrett,Paula Szkody +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, an analysis of X-ray and UV data obtained with the XMM-Newton Observatory of the long period dwarf nova RU Peg was presented, where the authors obtained a maximum temperature of 31.7 keV, based on the EPIC MOS1, 2 and pn data.

XMM-NEWTON OBSERVATIONS OF THE DWARF NOVA RU Peg IN QUIESCENCE: PROBE OF THE BOUNDARY LAYER
Solen Balman,Patrick Godon,Patrick Godon,Edward M. Sion,Jan-Uwe Ness,Eric M. Schlegel,P. Barrett,Paula Szkody +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an analysis of X-ray and UV data obtained with the XMM-Newton Observatory of the long-period dwarf nova RU Peg was presented, which indicated that the UV fluctuations in the inner disk are propagated into the Xray emitting region in about 116 s. This result is consistent with and indirectly confirms the large mass of the WD in RU Peg.

X-ray emission line spectroscopy of cataclysmic variables. II. Temperatures and densities from line ratios in the Chandra HETG band
TL;DR: In this paper, a line-by-line fitting analysis of the available spectra obtained using the Chandra High-Energy Transmission Grating (CHETG) was performed and the existence of broad ionization and electron temperature ranges and high number densities was confirmed.
Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer Spectroscopy of the Nova-like BB Doradus
TL;DR: In this article, an analysis of the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) spectra of the little-known southern nova-like BB Doradus was presented.

Identification of the Soft X-Ray Source WGA J1802.1+1804 with a New Magnetic Cataclysmic Variable
Paula Szkody,A. Silber,Donald Hoard,E. Fierce,K. P. Singh,K. P. Singh,P. Barrett,P. Barrett,Eric M. Schlegel,Eric M. Schlegel,V. Piirola +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors have discovered a bright (V ~ 14.5) cataclysmic variable during observations of the soft X-ray sources in the list of Singh et al.
