The Periodic Signals of Nova V1674 Herculis (2021)

Joseph Patterson, Marguerite Epstein-Martin, Josie Enenstein +24

We present time-series photometry during eruption of the extremely fast nova V1674 Herculis (Nova Her 2021). The 2021 light curve showed periodic signals at 0.152921(3) d and 501.4…

IM Normae: The Death Spiral of a Cataclysmic Variable?

Joseph Patterson, Jonathan Kemp, Berto Monard +18

We present a study of the orbital light curves of the recurrent nova IM Normae since its 2002 outburst. The broad "eclipses" recur with a 2.46 hour period, which increases on a tim…

The Spin-Period History of Intermediate Polars

Joseph Patterson, Enrique de Miguel, Jonathan Kemp +25

We report the detailed history of spin-period changes in five intermediate polars (DQ Herculis, AO Piscium, FO Aquarii, V1223 Sagittarii, and BG Canis Minoris) during the 30-60 yea…

Precise Measures of Orbital Period, Before and After Nova Eruption for QZ Aurigae

Bradley E. Schaefer, David Boyd, Geoffrey C. Clayton +7

For the ordinary classical nova QZ Aurigae (which erupted in 1964), we report 1317 magnitudes from 1912--2016, including four eclipses detected on archival photographic plates from…

The Rise and Fall of the King: The Correlation between FO Aquarii's Low States and the White Dwarf's Spindown

Colin Littlefield, Peter Garnavich, Mark R. Kennedy +45

The intermediate polar FO Aquarii (FO Aqr) experienced its first-reported low-accretion states in 2016, 2017, and 2018, and using newly available photographic plates, we identify p…

Orbital Period Increase in ES Ceti

Enrique de Miguel, Joseph Patterson, Jonathan Kemp +5

We report a long-term study of the eclipse times in the 10-minute helium binary ES Ceti. The binary period increases rapidly, with P/P-dot = 6.2x10^6 yr. This is consistent with th…
