Physics of Cataclysmic Variable Investigated by X-ray Spectroscopic Observation
A cataclysmic variable is comprised of two stars and changes its brightness drastically. Among the many mysteries of cataclysmic variables are the nature of the accretion disk and the boundary layer formed between the stars. These mysteries are being elucidated by recent, advanced X-ray spectroscopic observations including those by the X-ray astronomical satellite SUZAKU now in service. An article by Manabu ISHIDA at the website of Japan's Institute of Space and Astronautical Science.
 
The All Sky Automated Survey
The All Sky Automated Survey is a project which final goal is photometric monitoring of approx. 10^7 stars brighter than 14 magnitude all over the sky - implemented at the Warsaw University Observatory. A catalog of variable stars is provided.
