The Absence of Jets in Cataclysmic Variable Stars [PDF]

Astronomy and 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 cataclysmic variable stars.

A new cataclysmic variable star

Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 1992
We report spectrophotometric observation of a new cataclysmic variable star J 05.23, discovered as a byproduct of the Calan-Tololo Survey of quasars and Seyfert galaxies. From the ESO Quick Blue Chart we estimated a B magnitude of 17.5. The spectrum between 3200 and 6500 angstroms shows strong emission in the He I lambda-5876 angstroms, HBeta, HGamma ...

On the Secondary Star of the Cataclysmic Variable 1RXS J094432.1+035738 [PDF]

Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2002
We present V and Rc band photometry and optical near-infrared spectroscopy of the cataclysmic variable 1RXS J094432.1+035738. We detected features of a cool secondary star, which can be modeled with a red dwarf of spectral type M2 (+0.5 -1.0) V at a distance of 433 +- 100 pc.

Introduction to Cataclysmic Variable Stars

2016
Cataclysmic Variables are semi-detached binaries consisting of a White Dwarf that accretes material from a companion star (usually a Red Dwarf) that transfers matter to the White Dwarf. In this chapter I give a description of cataclysmic variable stars, their composition, classification and spectral characteristics.

Three unusual cataclysmic variable stars

Nature, 1983
A recent survey for variable objects1 using an automated search procedure detected a number of variables for which it was only possible to give a preliminary classification. Many of the sample have now been observed spectroscopically on a large telescope and definite classifications made.

Cataclysmic Variables as Interacting Binary Stars

1985
The periodical literature on cataclysmic variables (CVs) and closely related topics has grown rapidly in recent years. In the Astrophysical Journal alone, the number of papers published on this subject in 1982 was about 80, the rate having doubled in three years. The other major journals taken together yield a similar annual total.

Optical Properties of Cataclysmic Variable Stars

1990
An overview is given of the optical behavior of cataclysmic variables, including the various types, the canonical model of these close binary systems, the causes of eruptions, short-term variations, and orbital periods, and correlations of light curve parameters with physical properties.

Observations of Cataclysmic Variable and Double Degenerate Stars

2001
In this chapter I will discuss cataclysmic variable stars and close pairs of white dwarfs or “double degenerates”. These stars are connected through their evolution, but in this case also because they are personal interests of mine. The detailed topics that I discuss are also personal choices and I make no attempt to be comprehensive in my coverage ...
