Dramatic change of H alpha profile

by **Olivier Thizy** » Tue Jul 28, 2015 2:13 pm

Interesting as we have been observing the same target last night - a good way to compare our results... and lot of work for the ARAS database administrator François Teyssier!... specially as we have time series (and time seems very critical on CH Cygni with changes within minutes!) and for the eShel spectrograph data we have a large spectral domain with multiple orders... not easy to handle. Have a thought for him! ;-)

Looking forward for the OHP spectroscopy workshop where people there will certainly talk about CH Cygni and those changes!...

Here is my last spectrum from tonight.
Unfortunately I don't have enough time span to monitor profile changes through the night.

Hello,

a single shot tonight as I didn't want to return the mount and reached the limits. But it shows some changes from your spectrum:

A time serie spectra taken just after Olivier Thizy sequence.
3H30 long : A total of 71 spectra of 180s each with eshal spectrograph.

I have also the same animation for H beta and H gamma
