TESS light curves of two new magnetic cataclysmic variables: an asynchronous polar at the period minimum, and an eclipsing system with a large spin-to-orbit ratio

Colin Littlefield, Krystian Ilkiewicz, Paul A. Mason +2

A recent development in the study of magnetic cataclysmic variable stars (mCVs) has been the identification of asynchronously spinning mCVs with orbital periods <2 h that have sign…

Characterising high and low accretion states in VY Scl CVs using ZTF and TESS data

C. Duffy, Kinwah Wu, G. Ramsay +4

VY Scl binaries are a sub-class of cataclysmic variable (CV) which show extended low states, but do not show outbursts which are seen in other classes of CV. To better determine ho…

An Eccentric Planet Orbiting the Polar V808 Aurigae

McKenna Leichty, Peter Garnavich, Colin Littlefield +4

We analyze 15 years of eclipse timings of the polar V808 Aur. The rapid ingress/egress of the white dwarf and bright accretion region provide timings as precise as a few tenths of…

Instabilities in Interacting Binary Stars

Ivan L. Andronov, K. D. Andrych, K. A. Antoniuk +43

The types of instability in the interacting binary stars are reviewed. The project "Inter-Longitude Astronomy" is a series of smaller projects on concrete stars or groups of stars.…

Full 3-D MHD calculations of accretion flow Structure in magnetic cataclysmic variable stars with strong and complex magnetic fields

A. G. Zhilkin, D. V. Bisikalo, P. A. Mason

We performed 3D MHD calculations of stream accretion in cataclysmic variable stars for which the white dwarf primary star possesses a strong and complex magnetic field. These calcu…
