We present high speed photometric observations of the eclipsing dwarf nova IP Peg taken with the triple-beam camera ULTRACAM mounted on the William Herschel Telescope. The primary eclipse in this system was observed twice in 2004, and then a further sixteen times over a three week period in 2005. Our observations were simultaneous in the Sloan u, g and r bands. By phase-folding and averaging our data we make the first significant detection of the white dwarf ingress in this system and find the phase width of the white dwarf eclipse to be 0.0935 +/- 0.0003, significantly higher than the previous best value of between 0.0863 and 0.0918. The mass ratio is found to be q = M2 /M1 = 0.48 +/- 0.01, consistent with previous measurements, but we find the inclination to be 83.8 +/- 0.5 deg, significantly higher than previously reported. We find the radius of the white dwarf to be 0.0063 +/- 0.0003 solar radii, implying a white dwarf mass of 1.16 +/- 0.02 solar masses. The donor mass is 0.55 +/- 0.02 solar masses. The white dwarf temperature is more difficult to determine, since the white dwarf is seen to vary significantly in flux, even between consecutive eclipses. This is seen particularly in the u-band, and is probably the result of absorption by disc material. Our best estimate of the temperature is 10,000 - 15,000K, which is much lower than would be expected for a CV with this period, and implies a mean accretion rate of less than 5 times 10^-11 solar masses per year, more than 40 times lower than the expected rate.
We present the discovery of only the third brown dwarf known to eclipse a non-accreting white dwarf. Gaia parallax information and multi-colour photometry confirm that the white dwarf is cool (9950$pm$150K) and has a low mass (0.45$pm$0.05~MSun), and
We report on the discovery of an eclipsing dwarf nova (DN) inside the peculiar, bilobed nebula Te 11. Modelling of high-speed photometry of the eclipse finds the accreting white dwarf to have a mass 1.18 M$_odot$ and temperature 13 kK. The donor spec
We report the discovery of ZTF J2243+5242, an eclipsing double white dwarf binary with an orbital period of just $8.8$ minutes, the second known eclipsing binary with an orbital period less than ten minutes. The system likely consists of two low-mass
We report on X-ray observations of the Dwarf Nova GK Persei performed by {it NuSTAR} in 2015. GK Persei, behaving also as an Intermediate Polar, exhibited a Dwarf Nova outburst in 2015 March--April. The object was observed with {sl NuSTAR} during the
We present high-quality ULTRACAM photometry of the eclipsing detached double-white dwarf binary NLTT 11748. This system consists of a carbon/oxygen white dwarf and an extremely-low mass (< 0.2 Msun) helium-core white dwarf in a 5.6 hr orbit. To date
