DE CVn: A bright, eclipsing red dwarf - white dwarf binary
E. J. M. van den Besselaar, R. Greimel, L. Morales-Rueda +10
Close white dwarf - red dwarf binaries must have gone through a common-envelope phase during their evolution. DE CVn is a detached white dwarf - red dwarf binary with a relatively…
Superhumps in Cataclysmic Binaries. XXV. q_crit, epsilon(q), and Mass-Radius
Joseph Patterson, Jonathan Kemp, David Harvey +17
We report on successes and failures in searching for positive superhumps in cataclysmic variables, and show the superhumping fraction as a function of orbital period. Basically, al…
Pulsations, Boundary Layers, and Period Bounce in the Cataclysmic Variable RE J1255+266
Joseph Patterson, John Thorstensen, Jonathan Kemp
We report time-series photometry of the quiescent optical counterpart of the EUV transient RE J1255+266. The star appears as a DA white dwarf with bright emission lines and a compl…
Rapid Oscillations in Cataclysmic Variables. XVI. DW Cancri
Joseph Patterson, John Thorstensen, Tonny Vanmunster +7
We report photometry and spectroscopy of the novalike variable DW Cancri. The spectra show the usual broad H and He emission lines, with an excitation and continuum slope character…
The Nonradially-Pulsating Primary of the Cataclysmic Variable GW Librae
L. van Zyl, B. Warner, D. O'Donoghue +11
The dwarf nova GW Librae is the first cataclysmic variable discovered to have a primary in a white dwarf instability strip, making it the first multi-mode, nonradially-pulsating st…
Superhumps in Cataclysmic Binaries. XXIV. Twenty More Dwarf Novae
J. Patterson, J. Thorstensen, J. Kemp +23
We report precise measures of the orbital and superhump period in twenty more dwarf novae. For ten stars, we report new and confirmed spectroscopic periods - signifying the orbital…
