[vsnet-alert 9951] re CSS080304:090240+052500: indeed a dwarf nova, WZ Sge-type?

[da55 at Safe-mail.net]

I asked :-

"Alrighty, is that the same as saying a P Cygni profile
...
Otherwise, if they're split by a self absorption core due to a highly inclined disc component, what's the 500 km/s about..."


It's fine, I looked up this paper here

<http://www.aanda.org/articles/aa/full/2003/07/aah4012/aah4012.html>

I think I get the gist of what bimodality can mean, however as the CSS team state it within the framework of their nova assumption, and the Kato san states it within the context of a UGWZ with inclined disc, I don't think "bimodality" meant what the CSS team think it did.

Maybe they're keen to find a nova, people often are?  They probably will, one day.

It all depends on what the spectrum they've got actually does look like, I suppose.

There's nova for one spectra here
