White dwarf masses in cataclysmic variables

, 2015
The white dwarf (WD) mass distribution of cataclysmic variables (CVs) has recently been found to dramatically disagree with the predictions of the standard CV formation model.

Asian Precipitation Changes in the Past Millennium: Projection of Volcanic Forcing Onto Internal Mode

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.
Abstract Asian precipitation changes over multiple time scales have been extensively studied, yet the relative roles of external forcing and internal variability in shaping the large‐scale Asian precipitation pattern over the past millennium remain underexplored. Here, we demonstrate that the tripolar pattern of decadal precipitation variability across

Characterization and Localization of Chemical Explosions and Lightning Flashes by a Flotilla of Stratospheric Balloons

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.
Abstract On 3 August 2021, a flotilla of four Heliotrope solar hot air balloons was launched from central New Mexico (USA). The balloons, equipped with microbarometers, flew from sunrise to sunset at altitudes between 17 and 22 km. During the flight, eight chemical explosions ranging from 45 to 136 kg TNT equivalent and a thunderstorm occurred in the ...

On the iron Kalpha complex in magnetic cataclysmic variables

, 2004
We present a compilation of spectra of the iron Kalpha region in magnetic cataclysmic variables, using data from the Chandra-HETG. The H-like, He-like and fluorescent components are clearly resolved, and there are hints of the structure within each ...

Cataclysmic Variables - Concluding Remarks [PDF]

International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1987
Kitamura sensei, ladies and gentlemen: the remarks which follow will be the last communication by which our colloquium on cataclysmic variables is to be brought to its conclusion; and I appreciate the invitation of its organizing committee to use the remaining time we have together in the congenial atmosphere created for us at Bamberg, in an attempt at

Cataclysmic Variables from SDSS: A Review and A Look Forward to LSST

Acta Polytechnica CTU Proceedings, 2015
The past and current projects of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey are reviewed in the context of applicability and results for cataclysmic variables. Ongoing and future time domain surveys that will have impact on the field are also briefly discussed.

Eastern United States: Potential Range for Ecologically Based Coastal Defenses in 2100

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 1, March 2026.
These maps show where black mangroves can potentially thrive along the US east coast by the end of the 21st century under several climate scenarios. Similar work was done for oyster reefs and saltmarshes. ABSTRACT Eco‐defenses (mangroves, oyster reefs, and saltmarshes) are ecosystems that can help to mitigate the effects of natural hazards and erosion ...

Model Atmospheres for Irradiated Stars in pre-Cataclysmic Variables

, 2004
Model atmospheres have been computed for M dwarfs that are strongly irradiated by nearby hot companions. A variety of primary and secondary spectral types are explored in addition to models specific to four known systems: GD 245, NN Ser, AA Dor, and UU ...

Evolution of cataclysmic variables under different magnetic braking prescriptions

Astronomy & Astrophysics
Context. The evolution of cataclysmic variables (CVs) – interacting binaries where a low-mass donor transfers matter to a white dwarf via an accretion disk – is critically controlled by magnetic braking (MB).
