New or Improved Orbital Periods of Cataclysmic Binaries
John R. Thorstensen, Frederick A. Ringwald, Cynthia J. Taylor +5
We present a table of 58 cataclysmic binary orbital periods determined using data from MDM Observatory. Most are heretofore unpublished; some are refinements of previously publishe…
Spectroscopic Orbital Periods for 29 Cataclysmic Variables from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
John R. Thorstensen, Cynthia J. Taylor, Christopher S. Peters +3
We report follow-up spectroscopy of 29 cataclysmic variables from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), 22 of which were discovered by SDSS and seven other previously known systems…
Optical Studies of Twenty Longer-Period Cataclysmic Binaries
John R. Thorstensen, Christopher S. Peters, Julie N. Skinner
We obtained time-series radial velocity spectroscopy of twenty cataclysmic variable stars, with the aim of determining orbital periods P_orb. All of the stars reported here prove t…
