The winds in cataclysmic variable stars [PDF]
AIP Conference Proceedings, 1986 Ultraviolet spectrophotometry of two dwarf novae, CN Ori and RX And, at various phases of their outburst cycles, confirms that the far UV flux increases dramatically about 1–2 days after the optical outburst begins. At this time the UV spectral line profiles indicate the presence of a high velocity wind.

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.

THE EVOLUTION OF CATACLYSMIC VARIABLES AS REVEALED BY THEIR DONOR STARS [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, Supplement Series, 2011 ABSTRACT We present an attempt to reconstruct the complete evolutionary path followed by cataclysmic variables (CVs), based on the observed mass–radius relationship of their donor stars. Along the way, we update the semi-empirical CV donor sequence presented previously by one of

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

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 ...

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.

The donor stars of cataclysmic variables [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2006 Abstract We carefully consider observational and theoretical constraints on the global properties of secondary stars in cataclysmic variable stars (CVs). We then use these constraints to construct and test a complete, semi-empirical donor sequence for CVs with orbital periods Porb≤ 6 h.

Imaging the Secondary Stars in Cataclysmic Variables [PDF]
, 2001 The secondary, Roche-lobe filling stars in cataclysmic variables (CVs) are key to our understanding of the origin, evolution and behaviour of this class of interacting binary. We review the basic properties of the secondary stars in CVs and the observational and analysis methods required to detect them.
