Cataclysmic Variable Stars

1995
The study of cataclysmic variables - interacting binary stars containing a white dwarf accreting from an orbiting companion - is undergoing an exciting renaissance, as it embraces observations at all wavelengths. Cataclysmic variables allow, in particular, the direct and detailed study of equilibrium and non-equilibrium accretion discs; in turn these ...

Cataclysmic and Symbiotic Variables

2002
A 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 ...

Magnetic Cataclysmic Variables

1993
Cataclysmic variables (hereafter CVs) are close binaries in which a white dwarf accretes from a low mass companion, usually close to the main sequence. If the white dwarfhas a magnetic field of ≳ 105 G, the accretion flow will differ markedly from that expected in the non-magnetic case (see the chapter by Meyer-Hofmeister).

Extragalactic Cataclysmic Variables

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2005
SALT is uniquely poised to make major inroads in the study of extragalactic cataclysmic variables (CVs) — novae and dwarf novae. The ability to search an external galaxy for erupting CVs night after night, for months at a time, AND to obtain confirmatory spectra within a night of discovery is unique and invaluable.

The Cataclysmic Variable GD552

1985
Time-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 ...
