Bibinfo (this paper at ADS): de Jager, O.C., Meintjes, P.J., O'Donoghue, D., Robinson, E.L. 1994, MNRAS 267, 577-588.
Type: Observational: Optical photometry.
Object(s): AE Aqr.
Results: The white dwarf is spinning down at a rate of 5.64e-14 s/s over a 14.5 yr baseline, and the spin timings confirm the white dwarf origin with pulse timeing dely semiamplitude of 2.04s, implying a 0.9-1.0Msun white dwarf. Spin-down power is 6e33 I50 erg/s, exceeding the accretion luminosity by a factor of ~120, which can accelerate particles enough to explain radio and gamma-ray emissions.
