Photometry of V407 Vul and RXJ0806.3+1527 : twin systems?
We present new photometry of V407 Vul and RXJ0806.3+1527. These stars are thought to be ultra-compact pairs of white dwarfs and the shortest period binaries known. They have periods of 569 and 321 sec respectively. We found that the X-ray and optical light curves of RXJ0806.3+1527 are not anti-pbased as was previously thought. Instead, the X-ray lags the optical by 0.2 of cycle, indistinguishable from the phase offset seen in V407 Vul.
Although very similar to RXJ0806.3+1527, V407 Vul surprisingly is observed to have the spectrum of a G star. We test whether this could be a line-of-sight coincidence by searching for variations in the V407 Vul's position on the sky on the 569 second period. We find that the G star is separated from the variable by 0.03 arcsec, and has no direct connection with the 569 second source. This supports a common nature for V407 Vul and RXJ0806.3+1527

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
