Photometry of the 2015 Outburst of AG Pegasi.

MISTRY D. and STEELE I.A.

Abstract (from CDS):

In 2015 June, the symbiotic binary star AG Pegasi underwent a period of outburst. SkyCam T, mounted onboard the 2 m Liverpool Telescope, collected over 650 unfiltered images of this event, and several thousand images from before and after. This note presents Sloan r' band light curves obtained from these images. In addition, a color-magnitude diagram (CMD) using AAVSO data is included to infer parameters of the system's white dwarf (WD). Features in the light curve allow one to classify this outburst as that of classical (or Z And) type. The CMD suggests the temperature and luminosity of the WD increase concurrently to produce the light curve maxima. Light curves either side of the event show wave-like oscillations owing to the orbital period of AG Pegasi's components, indicating quiescence.
