An ancient nova shell around the dwarf nova Z Camelopardalis
Nature, 2007Cataclysmic variables (classical novae and dwarf novae) are binary star systems in which a red dwarf transfers hydrogen-rich matter, by way of an accretion disk, to its white dwarf companion. In dwarf novae, an instability is believed to episodically dump much of the accretion disk onto the white dwarf.

We have carried out a synthetic spectral analysis of five IUE NEWSIPS archival spectra of the peculiar, very active dwarf nova CN Orionis taken at the system's lowest flux levels during quiescence. AAVSO data indicate the visual magnitude V ~ 14 for CN Ori at this time.

Outburst mechanisms of dwarf novae are discussed. There is a rich variety in outburst behaviors of non-magnetic cataclysmic variable stars, starting from non-outbursting nova-like stars to various sub-classes of dwarf novae (i.e., U Gem-type, Z Cam-type, and SU UMa-type).

Exposed white dwarfs in dwarf novae
2008Hubble Space Telescope far ultraviolet spectroscopic observations of cataclysmic variable white dwarfs, exposed during dwarf nova quiescence, have yielded a number of new insights on accretional heating, photospheric abundances of the accreted atmosphere and rotational velocities of the underlying degenerates.

Nova and Dwarf Nova Observations with MAGIC
2016Starting in fall 2012, the MAGIC collaboration conducted a nova follow-up program in order to detect a possible VHE gamma-ray component. The program responded to Fermi-LAT detections of different types of novae at GeV energies: it initially focussed on symbiotic novae and later extended to bright Classical Novae and additional outbursts from other ...

Spectroscopic Observations of Dwarf Novae
International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1979Abstract.Dwarf novae spectroscopic work is briefly reviewed and the radiation emitted by the components of the system is discussed. The reasons why the broad, shallow absorption lines arise in the disc, and not in the white dwarf, are assembled.

It is now well established that the eruptions characteristic of dwarf novae result from changes in the luminosity of the accretion disc centred around the white dwarf component of these systems. These luminosity variations are most successfully accounted for by variations in the accretion flow through the disc but the mechanism responsible for this ...

Recent Observations of Dwarf Novae
International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1979A supermaximum of VW Hydri was observed at the ESO site from Oct. 26 until Nov. 9» 1978. High time resolution polarimetrie and spectroscopic measurements have been obtained. This paper reports on some preliminary results.

Systematics of superoutbursts in dwarf novae
Astrophysics and Space Science, 1995Photometric properties of known and suspected members of the SU UMa subclass of dwarf novae are tabulated and discussed. The precessing disc model of superoutbursts gives a satisfactory quantitative explanation of the periods of superhumps and their changes during superoutburst.
