On the Orbital Period and Models of V Sge

J. Smak

The orbital period of V Sge is decreasing at a rate which increased from dP/dt=-(4.11\pm 0.33)\times 10^{-10} in 1962 to -(5.44\pm 0.61)\times 10^{-10} in 2022. This implies that t…

On the Periods and Nature of Superhumps

J. Smak

It is commonly accepted that the periods of superhumps can be satisfactorily explained within a model involving apsidal motion of the accretion disk provided the frequency of the a…

RW Tri - its Negative Superhumps and System Parameters

J. Smak

Negative superhumps are detected in the light curves of RW Tri collected in September 1994 (Smak 1995) and November/December 1957 (Walker 1963). New system parameters, obtained usi…

DW UMa and the Irradiation Modulated Mass Transfer Model for Superhumps

J. Smak

The light curves of the permanent superhumper DW UMa are analyzed in order to determine the amplitudes of its superhumps, , and the amplitudes of the periodic light variati…

On the Light Curves of AM CVn

J. Smak

Light curves of AM CVn are analyzed by decomposing them into their Fourier components. The amplitudes of the fundamental mode and overtones of the three components: the superhumps,…
