Broad-band variability in accreting compact objects [PDF]
, 2014 Cataclysmic variable stars are in many ways similar to X-ray binaries. Both types of systems possess an accretion disk, which in most cases can reach the surface (or event horizon) of the central compact object.

Theoretical Light-curve Models of the Symbiotic Nova CN Cha—Optical Flat Peak for 3 Yr
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 CN Cha is a slow symbiotic nova characterized by a 3 yr long optical flat peak followed by a rapid decline. We present theoretical light curves for CN Cha, based on hydrostatic approximation, and estimate the white-dwarf (WD) mass to be ∼0.6 M _☉ for a ...

K-band spectroscopy of pre-cataclysmic variables [PDF]
, 2007 Aims. There exists now substantial evidence for abundance anomalies in a number of cataclysmic variables (CVs), indicating that the photosphere of the secondary star incorporates thermonuclear processed material. However, the spectral energy distribution

White Dwarfs in Cataclysmic Variable Stars: Surface Temperatures and Evolution [PDF]
Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2012 A summary is presented of what is currently known about the surface temperatures of accreting white dwarfs (WDs) detected in non-magnetic and magnetic cataclysmic variables (CVs) based upon synthetic spectral analyses of far ultraviolet data.

Investigation of the new cataclysmic variable 1RXS J180834.7+101041
, 2012 We present the results of our photometric and spectroscopic studies of the new eclipsing cataclysmic variable star 1RXS J180834.7+101041. Its spectrum exhibits double-peaked hydrogen and helium emission lines.

Discovery of a bright eclipsing cataclysmic variable [PDF]
, 2007 We report on the discovery of J0644+3344, a bright deeply eclipsing cataclysmic variable (CV) binary. Spectral signatures of both binary components and an accretion disk can be seen at optical wavelengths.

The Periods of Cataclysmic Variable Stars [PDF]
International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1983 To understand the structure and evolution of the cataclysmic variables, we will need accurate values for their masses, dimensions, mass transfer rates, and other physical properties. Unfortunately, despite an abundance of observational data on these systems, there is a severe dearth of reliable, quantitative information about their fundamental physical

LAMOST J2043+3413—a Fast Disk Precession SW Sextans Candidate in Period Gap
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 We present follow-up photometric observations and time-series analysis of a nova-like, SW Sextans-type, cataclysmic variable (CV) candidate, LAMOST J204305.95+341340.6 (hereafter J2043+3413), with a Gaia G -band magnitude of 15.30 and a distance of 990 ...

On the orbital period of the cataclysmic variable RZ Leonis [PDF]
, 2001 In this research note we present a time-resolved study of the Balmer emission lines of RZ Leo. From the analysis of the radial velocities we find an orbital period of 0.07651(26) d.
