On the orbital period distribution of cataclysmic variables
arXiv:astro-ph/9802041 · doi:10.1046/j.1365-8711.1998.01556.x
Abstract
Using the latest compilation of cataclysmic variable orbital periods by Ritter & Kolb we argue against Verbunt's conclusion that the period gap is not significant for nova-like variables. We also discuss the relation of the VY Scl stars to the dwarf novae.
