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 Changes in WZ Sagittae
Joseph Patterson, Geoffrey Stone, Jonathan Kemp +19
We report a long-term (1961-2017) study of the eclipse times in the dwarf nova WZ Sagittae, in an effort to learn its rate of orbital-period change. Some wiggles with a time scale…
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…
The Recurrent Nova T Pyx: Distance and Remnant Geometry from Light Echoes
J. L. Sokoloski, Arlin P. S. Crotts, Helena Uthas +1
The recurrent nova T Pyxidis (T Pyx) is well known for its small binary separation, its unusually high luminosity in quiescence, and the spectacular Hubble Space Telescope (HST) im…
BK Lyncis: The Oldest Old Nova?... And a Bellwether for Cataclysmic-Variable Evolution
Joseph Patterson, Helena Uthas, Jonathan Kemp +21
We summarize the results of a 20-year campaign to study the light curves of BK Lyncis, a nova-like star strangely located below the 2-3 hour orbital period gap in the family of cat…
Two new accreting, pulsating white dwarfs: SDSS J1457+51 and BW Sculptoris
Helena Uthas, Joseph Patterson, Jonathan Kemp +8
We report the discovery of rapid periodic signals in the light curves of two cataclysmic variables with prominent white-dwarf components in their spectra, SDSS J1457+51 and BW Scul…
