Spectroscopy of Nine Cataclysmic Variable Stars [PDF]

Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2007
We present optical spectroscopy of nine cataclysmic binary stars, mostly dwarf novae, obtained primarily to determine orbital periods Porb. The stars and their periods are LX And, 0.1509743(5) d; CZ Aql, 0.2005(6) d; LU Cam, 0.1499686(4) d; GZ Cnc, 0 ...

ABOUT THREE CATACLYSMIC VARIABLE STARS

Odessa Astronomical Publications, 2017
In order to detect the new outbursts of the three cataclysmic variable TV Crv, NSV 1775, NSV 895, their positions was scanned on the plates of the Odessa collection of the sky service obtained for the period 1958 - 1988. The new outbursts were detected

Exploring the SDSS Dataset with Linked Scatter Plots: I. EMP, CEMP, and CV Stars. [PDF]

Astrophys J Suppl Ser, 2017
We present the results of a search for extremely metal-poor (EMP), carbon-enhanced metal-poor (CEMP), and cataclysmic variable (CV) stars using a new exploration tool based on linked scatter plots (LSPs).

Parallax and Distance Estimates for Twelve Cataclysmic Variable Stars [PDF]

The Astronomical Journal, 2008
We report parallax and distance estimates for twelve more cataclysmic binaries and related objects observed with the 2.4m Hiltner telescope at MDM Observatory. The final parallax accuracy is typically about 1 mas.

The absence of jets in cataclysmic variable stars [PDF]

Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2004
We show that the recently developed thermal model which successfully describes how jets are launched by young stellar objects, when applied to system containing disk-accreting white dwarfs naturally explain the otherwise surprising absence of jets in ...

An X-Ray-dim “Isolated” Neutron Star in a Binary?

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
We report the discovery of a dark companion to 2MASS J15274848+3536572 with an orbital period of 6.14 hr. Combining the radial velocity from LAMOST observations and modeling of the multiband light curve, one obtains a mass function of ≃0.131 M _⊙ , an ...

VY Sculptoris stars as magnetic cataclysmic variables [PDF]

Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2002
AbstractWe show that VY Scl stars must be magnetized in order to account for the absence of outbursts during their low and intermediate states. Absence of outbursts during low states requires only rather low magnetic moments but in systems in which the drops and rises of luminosity are slower than it takes for the accretion disc to adjust viscously to ...

Accretion in Cataclysmic Variable Stars [PDF]

, 2005
We consider accretion onto the white dwarfs in cataclysmic variables in relation to nova eruptions, dwarf nova outbursts, hibernation and non-radial oscillations.

Galactic Model Parameters and Spatial Density of Cataclysmic Variables in the Gaia Era: New Constraints on Population Models

The Astronomical Journal, 2023
The spatial distribution, Galactic model parameters, and luminosity function of cataclysmic variables (CVs) are established using reestimated trigonometric parallaxes from Gaia DR3.

Cataclysmic Variable Stars [PDF]

International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1984
AbstractThe properties of cataclysmic variable outbursts are reviewed, and interpreted in terms of dynamical instabilities by the red component, and subsequent evolution of the white dwarf accretion disc subject to a mass transfer burst in the transfer stream.
