The Ritter-Kolb Catalogue and its Impact on Research into CVs, LMXBs and related Objects [PDF]
Acta Polytechnica CTU Proceedings, 2015 In the first part of this paper, the Ritter-Kolb catalogue (RKcat for short), its history and a few examples of its application to research in the field of cataclysmic variables are briefly described.

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 J1457+5148). The optical CCD photometric observations of these objects were performed at the T B

The Galactic kinematics of cataclysmic variables [PDF]
Astrophysics and Space Science, 2015 Kinematical properties of CVs were investigated according to population types and orbital periods, using the space velocities computed from recently updated systemic velocities, proper motions and parallaxes. Reliability of collected space velocity data are refined by removing 34 systems with largest space velocity errors.

Doppler tomography of cataclysmic variables [PDF]
Astronomische Nachrichten, 2004 AbstractThe study of cataclysmic variables (CVs), and in particular of the evolution of their accretion discs throughout their different brightness states, has benefited largely from the use of indirect imaging techniques. I report on the latest results obtained from Doppler tomography of CVs concentrating mainly on results published since the 2000 ...

ESA INTEGRAL and Cataclysmic Variables
Odessa Astronomical Publications, 2017 The satellite INTEGRAL is ESA project operating since January 2003. It is dedicated to high energy astronomy. INTEGRAL is able to detect and perform astrometry, photometry and spectroscopy of sources from X-ray to gamma-ray regime (nominal range of ...

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.

Golden Era of Cataclysmic Variables and Related Objects II: Concluding Remarks
Acta Polytechnica CTU Proceedings, 2015 The cataclysmic variables continue to represent important part of modern astrophysics, as demonstrated, already second time, by the productive and successful conference Golden Era of Cataclysmic Variables and Related Objects II held on Mondello (Palermo)

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.

Evolution and Outbursts of Cataclysmic Variables
Acta Polytechnica CTU Proceedings, 2015 Mass transfer and accretion are very important to understand the evolution and observational properties of cataclysmic variables (CVs). Due to the lack of an accretion disk, eclipsing profiles of polars are the best source to study the character of mass ...
