Disc–magnetosphere interactions in cataclysmic variable stars [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2007 AbstractI review, from an observational perspective, the interactions of accretion discs with magnetic fields in cataclysmic variable stars. I start with systems where the accretion flows via a stream, and discuss the circumstances in which the stream forms into an accretion disc, pointing to stars which are close to this transition.

Spectroscopy and Spectrophotometry of Cataclysmic Variable Stars [PDF]
, 1981 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.

Accretion in Cataclysmic Variable Stars [PDF]
, 2005 We consider accretion onto the white dwarfs in cataclysmic variables in relation to nova eruptions, dwarf nova outbursts, hibernation and non-radial oscillations.

Cataclysmic Variable Stars [PDF]
International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1984 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.

Orbital periods of cataclysmic variables identified by the SDSS. VII, Four new eclipsing systems [PDF]
, 2010 We present photometry of nine cataclysmic variable stars identified by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, aimed at measuring the orbital periods of these systems. Four of these objects show deep eclipses, from which we measure their orbital periods. The light

The donor stars of cataclysmic variables [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2006 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.

Imaging the Secondary Stars in Cataclysmic Variables [PDF]
, 2001 The secondary, Roche-lobe filling stars in cataclysmic variables (CVs) are key to our understanding of the origin, evolution and behaviour of this class of interacting binary. We review the basic properties of the secondary stars in CVs and the observational and analysis methods required to detect them.

The winds in cataclysmic variable stars [PDF]
AIP Conference Proceedings, 1986 Ultraviolet spectrophotometry of two dwarf novae, CN Ori and RX And, at various phases of their outburst cycles, confirms that the far UV flux increases dramatically about 1–2 days after the optical outburst begins. At this time the UV spectral line profiles indicate the presence of a high velocity wind.
