A New Window for Studying Intermediate Polars and Tilted Accretion Disk Precession

The Astrophysical Journal
TV Col is a long-period eclipsing intermediate polar (IP) prototype star for the negative superhump (NSH) system. We investigate the eclipse minima, eclipse depth, and NSH amplitude based on TESS photometry.

TESS Light Curves of Cataclysmic Variables. VI. Intermediate Polars

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
The long and (almost) continuous high-cadence light curves provided by the TESS space mission are ideally suited to study in detail brightness variations in stellar sources on the broad range of timescales between minutes and months.

X-Ray Polarimetry of Accreting White Dwarfs: A Case Study of EX Hydrae

The Astrophysical Journal
We present the first first X-ray polarization measurements of a white dwarf (WD), the intermediate polar EX Hya. We measured significant polarization only in the 2–3 keV energy band with a polarization degree of 8% at a 3 σ significance.

A Multiwavelength Study of the 2025 Low State of the Intermediate Polar BG CMi

The Astrophysical Journal
We present multiwavelength observations of the first recorded low state of the intermediate polar BG CMi. Optical monitoring of the source by members of the American Association of Variable Star Observers reveals a decrease of ∼0.5 mag that lasted ∼50 ...

A Broadband X-Ray Investigation of Fast-spinning Intermediate Polar CTCV J2056–3014

The Astrophysical Journal
We report on XMM-Newton, NuSTAR, and NICER X-ray observations of CTCV J2056–3014, a cataclysmic variable (CV) with one of the fastest-spinning white dwarfs (WDs) at P = 29.6 s.

Evolution of the Inner Accretion Flow and the White Dwarf Spin Pulse during the 2023 Outburst in GK Persei

The Astrophysical Journal
We present our X-ray and optical observations performed by NICER, NuSTAR, and Tomo-e Gozen during the 2023 outburst in the intermediate polar GK Persei. The X-ray spectrum consisted of three components: blackbody (BB) emission of several tens of eVs from

HST Observations of the Cataclysmic Variable Propeller LAMOST J024048.51+195226.9

The Astrophysical Journal
We present Hubble Space Telescope (HST) far-UV spectra and light curves of the magnetic cataclysmic variable (CV) LAMOST J024048.51+195226.9 (J0240), the second known CV propeller. The five consecutive HST orbits span a full 7.34 hr binary orbital period.

X-Ray Spectroscopy Mass Constraints on V1674 Her: The Fastest Nova does not have a Near-Chandrasekhar White Dwarf

The Astrophysical Journal
V1674 Her (Nova Her 2021) is the fastest classical nova ever recorded, with an optical decline time of t _2  ∼ 1 day, typically interpreted as evidence for a white dwarf mass close to the Chandrasekhar limit.

Classifying Optical (Out)bursts in Cataclysmic Variables: The Distinct Observational Characteristics of Dwarf Novae, Micronovae, Stellar Flares, and Magnetic Gating

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Cataclysmic variables can experience short optical brightenings, which are commonly attributed to phenomena such as dwarf novae outbursts, micronovae, donor flares, or magnetic gating bursts.
