Winds from cataclysmic variables
Advances in Space Research, 1988Current understanding of the winds from Cataclysmic Variables is discussed, with particular emphasis on the understanding and modeling of the line profiles. Recent efforts at constructing such models are summarized, and a dynamical model is constructed which may serve to illustrate some of the physical principles acting in CV winds.

Cataclysmic and Symbiotic Variables
2002A cataclysmic variable (CV) [1,2] is a binary star system in which a white dwarf primary accretes hydrogen-rich material usually through an accretion disk from a Roche lobe filling secondary that is on or near the main sequence. The CVs consist of several classes such as classical novae, recurrent novae, nova-likes, dwarf novae, helium CVs, and ...

X-ray emission from cataclysmic variables
Space Science Reviews, 1985EXOSAT results on cataclysmic variables are reviewed. The long continuous X-ray observations afforded by this observatory, coupled with the sensitivity of its instruments to medium energy and very low energy X-rays, have enabled the rotational and orbital X-ray light curves of these stars to be measured in unprecedented detail.

The Cataclysmic Variable GD552
1985Time-resolved spectroscopic observations of the proper motion star GD552 were made at Lick Observatory using the image-tube scanner of the Shane 120-inch telescope. Radial velocity variations were measured for the HP emission line. No velocity variations were detected, with an upper limit of 35 kilometers per second on the semi-amplitude of the K ...

Cataclysmic Variables — Selected Problems
1992Two hitherto neglected features of cataclysmic variables are discussed: (1) dependence of cycle-length on orbital period and brightness amplitude in dwarf novae eruptions and (2) the dip in the descending branch of superout-burst light-curves of WZ Sagittae stars.
