Z Cam dwarf novae are distinguished from other dwarf novae based on the appearance of so called standstills in their long-term optical light curves. It has been suggested previously that WW Cet might be a Z Cam type dwarf nova, but this classification was subsequently ruled out, based on its long-term light curve behavior. Forty years of historical data for WW Cet has shown no evidence of standstills. WW Ceti is therefore classified as a UG type dwarf nova in the General Catalog of Variable Stars (GCVS) and the International Variable Star Index (VSX). Beginning in the 2010 observing season, WW Cet has been observed to be in a standstill, remaining more or less steady in the 12th magnitude range. Based on this first ever, historical standstill of WW Ceti, we conclude that it is indeed a bona fide member of the Z Cam class of dwarf novae.
We present ULTRACAM photometry of ES Cet, an ultracompact binary with a 620s orbital period. The mass transfer in systems such as this one is thought to be driven by gravitational radiation, which causes the binary to evolve to longer periods since t
Context. Asteroseismology is an effcient tool not only for testing stellar structure and evolutionary theory but also constraining the parameters of stars for which solar-like oscillations are detected, presently. As an important southern asteroseism
We present the results of a comparative period search on different time-scales and modelling of the ZZ Ceti (DAV) star GD 154. We determined six frequencies as normal modes and four rotational doublets around the ones having the largest amplitude. Tw
The pulsating DA white dwarfs (ZZ Ceti stars) are $g$-mode non-radial pulsators. Asteroseismology provides strong constraints on their global parameters and internal structure. Since all the DA white dwarfs falling in the ZZ Ceti instability strip do
Asteroseismology is a unique tool to explore the internal structure of stars through both observational and theoretical research. The internal structure of pulsating hydrogen shell white dwarfs (ZZ Ceti stars) detected by asteroseismology is regarded
