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.

Mass Determinations of Cataclysmic Variables [PDF]
Cataclysmic variables (CVs) are a class of closely interacting binary system that undergo mass transfer from a Roche lobe filling secondary star to a white dwarf primary star, usually via a gas stream and an accretion disc.

The properties of cataclysmic variables in photometric H alpha surveys [PDF]
We report on the properties of 71 known cataclysmic variables (CVs) in photometric H alpha emission-line surveys. Our study is motivated by the fact that the Isaac Newton Telescope (INT) Photometric H alpha Survey of the northern galactic plane (IPHAS ...

Decoding the Hot-Mitochondrion Paradox. [PDF]
A distributed mechanism of mitochondrial heat generation is proposed in which all ion‐translocating proteins embedded within the inner mitochondrial membrane contribute to localized heat generation. All ion‐translocating proteins embedded within the inner mitochondrial membrane (IMM)—with ATP synthase shown here as an example—are proposed to function ...
