IM Normae: The Death Spiral of a Cataclysmic Variable?
Joseph Patterson, Jonathan Kemp, Berto Monard +18
We present a study of the orbital light curves of the recurrent nova IM Normae since its 2002 outburst. The broad "eclipses" recur with a 2.46 hour period, which increases on a tim…
Breaking the habit - the peculiar 2016 eruption of the unique recurrent nova M31N 2008-12a
M. Henze, M. J. Darnley, S. C. Williams +70
Since its discovery in 2008, the Andromeda galaxy nova M31N 2008-12a has been observed in eruption every single year. This unprecedented frequency indicates an extreme object, with…
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…
IGR J19552+0044: A new asynchronous short period polar: "Filling the gap between intermediate and ordinary polars"
G. Tovmassian, D. Gonzalez-Buitrago, J. Thorstensen +23
Based on XMM--Newton X-ray observations IGR J19552+0044 appears to be either a pre-polar or an asynchronous polar. We conducted follow-up optical observations to identify the sourc…

RZ Leonis Minoris Bridging between ER Ursae Majoris-Type Dwarf Nova and Novalike System
Taichi Kato, Ryoko Ishioka, Keisuke Isogai +64
We observed RZ LMi, which is renowned for the extremely (~19d) short supercycle and is a member of a small, unusual class of cataclysmic variables called ER UMa-type dwarf novae, i…
Survey of Period Variations of Superhumps in SU UMa-Type Dwarf Novae. VIII: The Eighth Year (2015-2016)

Accretion-disc precession in UX Ursae Majoris
E. de Miguel, J. Patterson, D. Cejudo +25
We report the results of a long campaign of time-series photometry on the nova-like variable UX Ursae Majoris during 2015. It spanned 150 nights, with ~1800 hours of coverage on 12…
Survey of Period Variations of Superhumps in SU UMa-Type Dwarf Novae. VII: The Seventh Year (2014-2015)
Taichi Kato, Franz-Josef Hambsch, Pavol A. Dubovsky +89
Continuing the project described by Kato et al. (2009, arXiv:0905.1757), we collected times of superhump maxima for 102 SU UMa-type dwarf novae observed mainly during the 2014-2015…
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…
Survey of Period Variations of Superhumps in SU UMa-Type Dwarf Novae. VI: The Sixth Year (2013-2014)
