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…
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…
Resynchronization of the Asynchronous Polar CD Ind
G. Myers, J. Patterson, E. de Miguel +6
CD Ind is one of only four confirmed asynchronous polars (APs). APs are strongly magnetic cataclysmic variables of the AM Herculis subclass with the characteristic that their white…
T Pyxidis: Death by a Thousand Novae
Joseph Patterson, Arto Oksanen, Jonathan Kemp +14
We report a 20-year campaign to track the 1.8 hour photometric wave in the recurrent nova T Pyxidis, using the global telescope network of the Center for Backyard Astrophysics. Dur…
The asynchronous polar V1432 Aquilae and its path back to synchronism
David Boyd, Joseph Patterson, William Allen +23
V1432 Aquilae is the only known eclipsing asynchronous polar. In this respect it is unique and therefore merits our attention. We report the results of a 15-year campaign by the gl…
