Detached cataclysmic variables are crossing the orbital period gap
(2016)
A central hypothesis in the theory of cataclysmic variable (CV) evolution is the need to explain the observed lack of accreting systems in the ≃2-3 h orbital period range, known as the period gap. The standard model, ...
mocca-SURVEY database I. Accreting white dwarf binary systems in globular clusters - III. Cataclysmic variables - implications of model assumptions
(2017)
In this third of a series of papers related to cataclysmic variables (CVs) and related objects, we analyse the population of CVs in a set of 12 globular cluster models evolved with the MOCCA Monte Carlo code, for two initial ...
White dwarf masses in cataclysmic variables
(2015)
Context. 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. The high mean WD mass among CVs is ...
Discovery and Characterization of an Extremely Deep-eclipsing Cataclysmic Variable: LSQ172554.8-643839
(2011)
We report the discovery of an eclipsing cataclysmic variable with eclipse depths >5.7 mag, orbital period 94.657 minutes, and peak brightness V ~ 18 at J2000 position 17h25m548, –64°38'39''. Detected by visual inspection ...
DISCOVERY AND CHARACTERIZATION OF AN EXTREMELY DEEP-ECLIPSING CATACLYSMIC VARIABLE: LSQ172554.8-643839
(IOP PUBLISHING LTD, 2011-05-01)
We report the discovery of an eclipsing cataclysmic variable with eclipse depths > 5.7 mag, orbital period 94.657 minutes, and peak brightness V similar to 18 at J2000 position 17(h)25(m)54(s). 8, -64 degrees 38'39 ''. ...
On the nature of CP Pup
(Wiley-blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2013-11)
We present new X-ray and optical spectra of the old nova CP Pup (nova Pup 1942) obtained with Chandra and the Cerro Tololo Inter American Observatory (CTIO) 4 m telescope. The X-ray spectrum reveals a multitemperature ...
