The most important feature is that a non-user[meaning, someone without a user name and password to the page] can get more information from the site than they more than likely know what to do with and the fact that the authors are talking 'behind the scenes', what we know as the discusion sections, and the site evolves and shifts as the projects progress.

WZSge is an eclipsing binary star system composed of a white dwarf(serving as the primary star) and a brown dwarf(which serves as a secondary star). This is a close orbital binary star system with only an 82 minute orbital period. What is happening in WZSge is the white dwarf is stripping material away from the brown dwarf, however due to angular momentum the material is not falling directly into the white dwarf it is falling into an accretion disk which surrounds the white dwarf. This accrection disk is so bright that when WZSge is imaged in the optical we are not actually seeing the white dwarf but in fact the accretion disk which surrounds it. In the optical we can see by generating a light curve that the brown dwarf eclipses in front of the white dwarf and its accretion disk. However the current phenomena of WZSge is that an eclipse is visible in the IR (at both 4.5 and 8 microns).

Newest part of the project = Find 'interesting' or 'important' parts of the wiki to highlight on poster. You can post parts you would like to use in this thread. [If you don't remember how to post on a particular thread, you click edit to the left of the heading of the thread you want to post. If you want to start a new thread, scroll to the top and click on the + (plus) sign beside the tab for edit. And as always, if you have questions on the wiki, type my name in caps and then your question.]

  • A lot of time we work with IR and if someone didn’t know what IR is, we have a section specifically noted for that. [Main Page, section 3]
