Evolution of Cataclysmic Variables with Binary-driven Mass Loss during Nova Eruptions
The discrepancies between observations and theoretical predictions of cataclysmic variables (CVs) suggest that there exists unknown angular-momentum-loss mechanism(s) besides magnetic braking and gravitational radiation.

Teaching New Religious Movements Historically: Distance, Empathy, and Cults in the Classroom
ABSTRACT Resistance to understanding the beliefs of modern New Religious Movements (NRMs) is well‐known to those who teach in the area. This paper builds on Eugene Gallagher's repurposing of “methodological belief” for college classes on NRMs by suggesting that scholars and teachers in the field of religious studies engage methods and content drawn ...

Nine New Cataclysmic Variable Stars with Negative Superhumps
Negative superhumps (NSHs) are signals a few percent shorter than the orbital period of a binary star and are considered to originate from the reverse precession of the tilted disk.

Abstract The 2016 Brexit referendum was a watershed moment for the politicisation of the European Union (EU) in the United Kingdom. Much has been written about the politicising effects of the referendum, along with the Leave result's subsequent contestation in the media as well as in national and European election cycles.

POISONOUS IMAGES: Taranto's Environmental Crisis between the Visible and the Invisible
ABSTRACT This article explores poisonous images—images that both register and trouble the visibility of toxicity in Taranto, Italy, one of Europe's most polluted cities due to the continent's largest steel factory. Centered on photographs taken in the city's contaminated cemetery, the essay asks how slow violence can be apprehended ethnographically ...

The AH Pictoris Syndrome: Continuous Trains of Stunted Outbursts in Novalike Variables
Novalike variables are a subgroup of cataclysmic variables (CVs) that—unlike dwarf novae—do not exhibit strong brightenings in their long-term light curves.
