The Nova-like Variables
We review optical observations and theoretical models of the non-magnetic nova-like variables (UX UMa, VY Scl and SW Sex stars). A brief discussion of the classiication scheme is followed by a statistical overview of the observed properties. The most important features of each of the sub-classes are then reviewed, concluding with a summary of the theoretical models invoked to understand these s...
متن کاملA Far-ultraviolet Study of the Nova-like V794 Aquilae
V794 Aql was observed in a high state with the Hubble Space Telescope Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (HST STIS) on 2003 August 28, and with the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE ) on 2004May 13. We present here a spectral analysis of the FUSE andHST STIS spectra. For a 0.9M , the best fit is an accretion disk with a mass accretion rate Ṁ 1⁄4 10 8:5 to 10 M yr 1 with an inclinat...
متن کاملHubble Space Telescope Stis Spectroscopy of Three Peculiar Nova-like Variables: Bk Lyn, V751 Cygni and V380 Oph
We obtained Hubble STIS spectra of three nova-like variables: V751 Cygni, V380 Oph, and the only confirmed nova-like variable known to be below the period gap BK Lyn. In all three systems, the spectra were taken during high optical brightness state, and a luminous accretion disk dominates their far ultraviolet (FUV) light. We assessed a lower limit of the distances by applying the infrared phot...
متن کاملPulsating White Dwarfs in Cataclysmic Variables: The Marriage of ZZ Cet and Dwarf Nova
There are now four dwarf novae known with white dwarf primaries that show large amplitude non-radial oscillations of the kind seen in ZZ Cet stars. We compare the properties of these stars and point out that by the end of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey more than 30 should be known.
متن کاملDwarf Nova Oscillations and Quasi-Periodic Oscillations in Cataclysmic Variables: III. A New Kind of Dwarf Nova Oscillation, and Further Examples of the Similarities to X-Ray Binaries
We present measurements of the periods of Dwarf Nova Oscillations (DNOs) and Quasi-Periodic Oscillations (QPOs) in cataclysmic variable stars (CVs), many culled from published literature but also others newly observed (in VZ Pyx, CR Boo, OY Car, Z Cha, AQ Eri, TU Men, HX Peg, CN Ori, V893 Sco, WX Hyi and EC2117-54). These provide data for 26 systems. We show that in general PQPO ∼ 15 PDNO and t...
