Observational Facilities of Sternberg Astronomical Institute for Ground-Based Photometric Study of Newly Identified GAIA Objects, - CV-candidates.
Abstract
The extended observational program for study of cataclysmic variables is realized in Sternberg Astronomical Institute during the last years. A few telescopes of Crimean Observational Station equipped with a different devices, - UBV photometer and two CCD camera, are used for observations. Among the close binary systems (CBS), cataclysmic variables are the most interesting objects because of the outburst activity and variety of their observational features. They could serve a good laboratory for study of physical processes in CBS. GAIA provides astronomers with a new ample opportunity for investigation of cataclysmic variables. Though the relative faintness of detected objects it is still possible to carry out a high accuracy ground-based observations with our equipment. Obtained ground-based data permit us to confirm classification of detected CV-candidates, to determine the physical characteristics with a sample of new cods and improve the current understanding of their nature.
