2 Overview of the project Main goal: study of white dwarf binaries through spectroscopic and fast photometric observation Observation proposals: Ellipsoidal binaries (PI: K. Wangnok; w/ N. Sanguansak, K. Chanthorn) Eclipsing white dwarfs (w/ P. Nuchvanichakul, S. Wannawichian) SNIa progenitors (w/ J.Ren, A. Rebassa-Mansergas) Quasi Periodic Pulsation in CV (w/ David Buckley) Stellar occultation (w/ B. Sicardy, F. Braga-Ribas) Budget: PhD scholarship + student support: 67% Observation trip + visiting collaborators: 28% Publication: 5% Visiting astronomers: Dr. Juanjuan Ren / NAOC : March 2018 Dr. David Buckley / SAAO (cancelled due to health issue) 2
