X-rays from cataclysmic variables [PDF]
, 2006 Cataclysmic Variables are a distinct class of interacting binaries, transferring mass from a donor star to a degenerate accretor, a white dwarf. We here review X-ray observations of these systems, with some emphasis on what has been achieved in the last ...

Observations of Faint Eclipsing Cataclysmic Variables [PDF]
New Astronomy, 2010 We present time-resolved photometry of six faint (V>17mag) cataclysmic variables (CVs); one of them is V849 Oph and the others are identified from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS J0920+0042, SDSS J1327+6528, SDSS J1227+5139, SDSS J1607.02+3623, SDSS ...

Magnetic Cataclysmic Variables [PDF]
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2010 We present a study on magnetic cataclysmic variables (polars) using the collected data from the literature. These parameters (mass, radius, magnetic field intensity, mass transfer rate, etc.) and the relations between them are important to understand their nature, to explain the observed properties of them and to test the current evolutionary models.

Water Parameters and Hydrodynamics in Rivers and Caves Hosting Astyanax mexicanus Populations Reveal Macro-, Meso- and Microhabitat Characteristics. [PDF]
Ecol EvolFrom 2009 to 2025, we have recorded the physicochemical parameters of the water and the hydrological regimes at localities hosting Astyanax mexicanus cavefish and surface fish populations in Mexico. Sampling 13 caves and 30 surface stations revealed strong signatures of the two macrohabitats, but also significant differences in specific water ...

Transients from the Cataclysmic Deaths of Cataclysmic Variables [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2021 Abstract We explore the observational appearance of the merger of a low-mass star with a white dwarf (WD) binary companion. We are motivated by recent work finding that multiple tensions between the observed properties of cataclysmic variables (CVs) and standard evolution models are resolved if a large fraction of CV binaries merge as a ...

Contemporary Physics, 2006 Cataclysmic variables are binary stars in which a relatively normal star is transferring mass to its compact companion. This interaction gives rise to a rich range of behaviour, of which the most noticeable are the outbursts that give the class its name. Novae belong to the class, as do the less well known dwarf novae and magnetic systems.

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.
