Stepanyan's star - A new eclipsing cataclysmic variable
The Astrophysical Journal, 1980 High-speed photometry of the nova-like variable Stepanyan's star shows a 3-hr 48-min orbital period marked by a 2.2-mag eclipse which spans orbital phases 0.91-0.09. The uneclipsed light is variable by typically 0.15 mag on time scales of minutes to seconds and shows no obvious modulation with orbital phase. Intermediate-band colors show an enhancement

The Astrophysical JournalNonmagnetic cataclysmic variables (CVs) show two distinct X-ray components: a hard, optically thin component and a soft, optically thick, blackbody-like component, both produced in the boundary layer between the accretion disk and the white dwarf (WD ...

An Equipotential Disk Model with Irradiation for Nova-like Variables
The Astrophysical JournalThe reflection effect is here incorporated within an earlier analytic binary system light- and velocity-curve model that includes a circumstellar equipotential disk.

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement SeriesA program of long-term ground-based photometric monitoring of 134 old novae and novalike cataclysmic variables (CVs) has been concluded. In this paper, we display, analyze, and discuss the light curves of 33 of these targets, which have shown “stunted ...

Detection of Transitions between Dwarf Nova Outbursts, Standstills, and IW And–type Cycles
The Astrophysical JournalIW And–type objects represent a rare and intriguing subclass of cataclysmic variables that challenge the classical disk instability model. Due to their long timescales, often lasting several months, observed samples are scarce, leaving the physics of ...

Tilted Disk Precession and Negative Superhumps in HS 2325+8205: A Multiwindow Analysis
The Astrophysical JournalTilted disk precession exists in different objects. Negative superhumps (NSHs) in cataclysmic variable stars are believed to arise from the interaction between the reverse precession of a tilted disk and the streams from the secondary star.
