The low states of CVs at the upper edge of the period gap
P. Rodríguez-Gil, L. Schmidtobreick, K. S. Long +3
We review our knowledge of the origin and phenomenology of low states (also known as VY Scl states) in cataclysmic variables, making special emphasis on the cataclysmic variable po…
Post common envelope binaries from SDSS. XII: The orbital period distribution
A. Nebot Gómez-Morán, B. T. Gänsicke, M. R. Schreiber +18
The complexity of the common envelope phase and of magnetic stellar wind braking currently limits our understanding of close binary evolution. Because of their intrinsically simple…
Post-common-envelope binaries from SDSS. XI: The white dwarf mass distributions of CVs and pre-CVs
M. Zorotovic, M. R. Schreiber, B. T. Gänsicke
We have known for a long time that many of the measured white dwarf (WD) masses in cataclysmic variables (CVs) significantly exceed the mean mass of single WDs. This was thought to…
Brown Dwarf Companions to White Dwarfs
M. R. Burleigh, P. R. Steele, P. D. Dobbie +8
Brown dwarf companions to white dwarfs are rare, but recent infra-red surveys are slowly reveal- ing examples. We present new observations of the post-common envelope binary WD0137…
