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.

Balmer decrements as a new diagnostic for period-bounce cataclysmic variable stars
Astronomy & AstrophysicsContext. Cataclysmic variable stars (CVs) evolve towards shorter orbital periods (Porb) until they reach a minimum Porb of ∼80 min. Beyond this point, the donor star becomes out of thermal equilibrium or increasingly degenerate, causing the system to ...

Observations of red‐giant variable stars by Aboriginal Australians
, 2017 Aboriginal Australians carefully observe the properties and positions of stars, including both overt and subtle changes in their brightness, for subsistence and social application. These observations are encoded in oral tradition.

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 ...

Spectroscopic classification of cataclysmic variable candidates
, 2005 We present low-resolution optical spectroscopy for six cataclysmic variable candidates and the old nova V888 Cen. We confirm the classification as cataclysmic variable for LB 9963 and FQ Mon, while the other four candidates turn out to be different types

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 ...
