MAGNETIC CATACLYSMIC VARIABLES: 25 YEARS OF EXCITING PERFOMANCE
Odessa Astronomical Publications, 2017 Exactly 25 years ago, Santiago Tapia has detected circular and linear polarization of AM Her varying with the same period as the photometric and spectral characteristics. This had lead to a discovery of unprecedentedly exotic binary systems, in which the

Partitioned Desires: Female Agency and Interfaith Relationships Around the Partition of India
Gender &History, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Through an examination of the phenomenon of abduction, I suggest that the preoccupation with women's violation during the 1947 Partition of India has obfuscated a history of female desire. Considering accusations of kidnapping made by women's families against men belonging to a different religion in instances of interfaith desire, I ...

2017 Golden Age of Cataclysmic Variables and Related Objects IV, GOLDEN 2017
, 2022 Standard evolutionary theory suggests that cataclysmic variables (CVs) evolve from longer to shorter orbital periods. CVs that have passed beyond the period minimum and are evolving back towards longer periods are called the period bouncers.

The Economic History Review, EarlyView.Abstract One of the most contentious issues in the study of the Atlantic slave trade is the profitability of the trade. In this paper, we contribute by pooling all available data on transatlantic slave ship voyage accounts into a joint dataset. This dataset includes data from a period of 100 years (1730–1830) and from five nations (Denmark, France ...

Optical polarimetry of cataclysmic variables
, 2022 It is briefly revised the literature relative to optical polarimetric measurements of cataclysmic variables (CVs). It is also discussed how polarization can be used to estimate important properties of those objects as the white-dwarf magnetic field, mass
