Cataclysmic Variable Stars [PDF]
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.

Gravitational Wave Emission by Cataclysmic Variables: numerical models of semi-detached binaries [PDF]
Gravitational wave emission is considered to be the driving force for the evolution of short-period cataclysmic binary stars, making them a potential test for the validity of General Relativity.

Cataclysmic Variable Stars [PDF]
The evolution of single stars on and away from the main sequence is well understood. A degenerate core is formed in a star as the star leaves the main sequence and expands to a giant with a radius typically 50 - 500 Ro . Observationally it is known that most stars are members of binary systems, and among these many have orbital periods less than 100 y.

AH Her is a Z Cam-type dwarf nova with an orbital period of ∼0.258 days. Dwarf nova oscillations and long-period dwarf nova oscillations have been detected, but no quasiperiodic oscillations (QPOs) and negative superhumps (NSHs) have been found.

The donor stars of cataclysmic variables [PDF]
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.

System parameters of three short-period cataclysmic variable stars [PDF]
ABSTRACT Using photometric ULTRACAM observations of three new short-period cataclysmic variables (CVs), we model the primary eclipse light curves to extract the orbital separation, masses, and radii of their component stars. We find donor masses of $0.060\pm 0.008\, {\rm M_\odot }$, $0.042\pm 0.001\, {\rm M_\odot }$, and $0.042\pm 0.004\,

Optical Studies of Seven Bright Southern Cataclysmic Variable Stars
We report spectroscopic observations of seven bright southern cataclysmic variable stars, collected on a single two-week observing run using the 1.9 m Radcliffe telescope at the South African Astronomical Observatory.

CCD Photometry Using Multiple Comparison Stars [PDF]
The accuracy of CCD observations obtained at the Korean 1.8 m telescope has been studied. Seventeen comparison stars in the vicinity of the cataclysmic variable BG CMi have been measured.

Finding the most variable stars in the Orion Belt with the All Sky Automated Survey [PDF]
We look for high-amplitude variable young stars in the open clusters and associations of the Orion Belt. We use public data from the ASAS-3 Photometric V-band Catalogue of the All Sky Automated Survey, infrared photometry from the 2MASS and IRAS ...
