The study of cataclysmic variables - interacting binary stars containing a white dwarf accreting from an orbiting companion - is undergoing an exciting renaissance, as it embraces observations at all wavelengths. Cataclysmic variables allow, in particular, the direct and detailed study of equilibrium and non-equilibrium accretion discs; in turn these ...

Spectroscopy and Spectrophotometry of Cataclysmic Variable Stars [PDF]
Distances and luminosities of individual cataclysmic variable stars (as opposed to statistical properties of the group as a whole) can best be acquired by studying the secondary stars of these short-period binary systems. Since the secondary stars are of late spectral type, observations in the near infrared are especially useful.

Dwarf nova-type cataclysmic variable stars are significant radio emitters
We present 8–12 GHz radio light curves of five dwarf nova (DN) type cataclysmic variable stars (CVs) in outburst (RX And, U Gem, and Z Cam), or superoutburst (SU UMa and YZ Cnc), increasing the number of radio-detected DN by a factor of 2.

HS 2331+3905: The cataclysmic variable that has it all [PDF]
We report detailed follow-up observations of the cataclysmic variable HS 2331+3905, identified as an emissionline object in the Hamburg Quasar Survey. An orbital period of 81.08 min is unambiguously determined from the detection of eclipses in the light ...

A new cataclysmic variable star
Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 1992We 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 ...

HS 0139+0559, HS 0229+8016, HS 0506+7725, and HS 0642+5049: four new long-period cataclysmic variables [PDF]
We present time-resolved optical spectroscopy and photometry of four relatively bright (V ∼ 14.0−15.5) long-period cataclysmic variables(CVs) discovered in the Hamburg Quasar Survey: HS 0139+0559, HS 0229+8016, HS 0506+7725, and HS 0642+5049.

Introduction to Cataclysmic Variable Stars
2016Cataclysmic 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.

Cataclysmic Variables as Interacting Binary Stars
1985The 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.
