    The Post-Nova Population
    We present our on-going project to unveil the post-nova population by re-discovering old novae that have been lost after the initial outburst and in which the...

    The properties of cataclysmic variables in photometric Hα surveys
    We report on the properties of 71 known cataclysmic variables (CVs) in photometric Hα emission-line surveys. Our study is motivated by the fact that the Isaac...

    The return of the spin period in DW Cnc and evidence of new high state outbursts
    DW Cnc is an intermediate polar which has previously been observed in both high and low states. Observations of the high state of DW Cnc have previously...

    The spectroscopic evolution of the recurrent nova T Pyxidis during its 2011 outburst (Corrigendum). I. The optically thick phase and the origin of moving lines in novae
    We correct the velocities quoted for interstellar absorption features from Shore et al. (2011), A&A, 533, L8.

    The spectroscopic evolution of the recurrent nova T Pyxidis during its 2011 outburst. I. The optically thick phase and the origin of moving lines in novae
    Aims: We aim to derive the physical properties of the recurrent nova T Pyx and the structure of the ejecta during the early stages of expansion of the 2011...

    The system parameters of the polars MR SER and ST LMi
    We obtain the NaI lambdalambda8183, 8195 absorption-line radial velocity curves for the polars ST LMi and MR Ser, from which we find the semi-amplitudes to be K...

    The Wendelstein Calar Alto Pixellensing Project (WeCAPP): the M 31 nova catalogue
    We present light curves from the novae detected in the long-term, M 31-monitoring WeCAPP project. The goal of WeCAPP is to constrain the compact dark matter...

    TIC 378898110: A bright, short-period AM CVn binary in TESS
    AM CVn-type systems are ultracompact, helium-accreting binary systems that are evolutionarily linked to the progenitors of thermonuclear supernovae and are...

    Time-resolved photometry and spectroscopy of the new deeply-eclipsing SW Sextantis star HS 0728+6738
    We present time-resolved optical spectroscopy and photometry, and far-ultraviolet spectroscopy of HS 0728+6738, a cataclysmic variable discovered in the Hamburg...
