We present time-resolved optical spectroscopy of the cataclysmic variable S193. The emission lines are remarkably similar to those of V795 Her and exhibit high...
SDSS J123813.73 - 033933.0: A Cataclysmic Variable Evolved Beyond the Period Minimum
We present infrared JHK photometry of the cataclysmic variable (CV) SDSS J123813.73 - 033933.0 and analyze it along with optical spectroscopy, demonstrating...
SDSS unveils a population of intrinsically faint cataclysmic variables at the minimum orbital period
We discuss the properties of 137 cataclysmic variables (CVs) which are included in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) spectroscopic data base, and for which...
We analyse V-band photometry of the aperiodic variability in T CrB. By applying a simple idea of angular momentum transport in the accretion disc, we have...
Searching for nova shells around cataclysmic variables - II. A second campaign
We report on our second campaign to search for old nova shells around cataclysmic variables (CVs). Our aim was to test the theory that nova eruptions cause...
Luminous red novae (LRNe) are astrophysical transients believed to be caused by the partial ejection of a binary star's common envelope (CE) and the merger of...
Simultaneous Multiwavelength Observations of Dwarf Novae. I. SU Ursae Majoris: Minihumps at a Minioutburst?
SU Ursae Majoris the prototype of a subgroup of dwarf novae that display superhumps in super- outbursts has been observed during an international campaign...
Simultaneous X-ray and optical spectroscopy of V404 Cygni supports the multi-phase nature of X-ray binary accretion disc winds
Observational signatures of accretion disc winds have been found in a significant number of low-mass X-ray binaries at either X-ray or optical wavelengths. The...
Spectroscopic and photometric periods of six ultracompact accreting binaries
Ultracompact accreting binary systems each consist of a stellar remnant accreting helium-enriched material from a compact donor star. Such binaries include two...
