The Periods of Cataclysmic Variables
The present status of the period studies of cataclysmic variables is briefly reviewed, mainly from the observational point of view. A few comments on individual objects include EM Cyg, Z Cha, WZ Sge and AM CVn.
متن کاملCataclysmic variables
Cataclysmic variables are binary stars in which a relatively normal star is transferring mass to its compact companion. This interaction gives rise to a rich range of behaviour, of which the most noticeable are the outbursts that give the class its name. Novae belong to the class, as do the less well known dwarf novae and magnetic systems. Novae draw their energy from nuclear reactions, while d...
متن کاملThe Winds of Cataclysmic Variables
We present an observational and theoretical review of the winds of cataclysmic variables (CVs). Specifically, we consider the related problems of the geometry, ionization state, and mass-loss rate of the winds of CVs. We present evidence of wind variability and discuss the results of studies of eclipsing CVs. Finally, we consider the properties of accretion disk wind and magnetic wind models. S...
متن کاملOrbital periods of cataclysmic variables identified by the SDSS . IV . SDSSJ
We present time-series VLT spectroscopy and NTT photometry of the cataclysmic variable SDSS J220553.98+115553.7, which contains a pulsating white dwarf. We determine a spectroscopic orbital period of Porb = 82.825 ± 0.089min from velocity measurements of the Hα emission line. A period analysis of the light curves reveals a dominant periodicity at Pphot = 44.779 ± 0.038min which is not related t...
متن کاملThe Donor Stars of Cataclysmic Variables
We carefully consider observational and theoretical constraints on the global properties of secondary stars in cataclysmic variable stars (CVs). We then use these constraints to construct and test a complete, semi-empirical donor sequence for CVs with orbital periods Porb 6 6 hrs. All key physical and photometric parameters of CV secondaries (along with their spectral types) are given as a func...
