Revisiting the extremely long-period cataclysmic variables V479 Andromedae and V1082 Sagitarii

Gagik Tovmassian, Diogo Belloni, Anna F. Pala +56

The overwhelming majority of CVs have orbital periods shorter than 10 hr. However, a few have much longer periods, and their formation and existence pose challenges for the CV evol…

ASASSN-14dx: A cataclysmic variable harbouring a massive pulsating white dwarf

Pasi Hakala, Ingrid Pelisoli, Boris T. Gaensicke +5

We present the results of our study of ASASSN-14dx, a previously known but poorly characterised cataclysmic variable (CV). The source was observed as part of an ongoing high-time-r…

V498 Hya, a new candidate for a period bouncer Cataclysmic Variable

Gagik Tovmassian, Keith Inight, Anna Francesca Pala +5

V498 Hya (SDSS J084555.07+033929.2) was identified as a short-period cataclysmic variable (CV) by the Catalina Real-Time Transient Survey (CRTS) in 2008. The superhump period was m…

Structure of the accretion flow of IX Velorum as revealed by high-resolution spectroscopy

Jan Kára, Linda Schmidtobreick, Anna Francesca Pala +1

Context: Several high-mass transfer cataclysmic variables show evidence for outflow from the system, which could play an important role in their evolution. We investigate the syste…

Accurate mass-radius ratios for Hyades white dwarfs

L. Pasquini, A. F. Pala, M. Salaris +4

We use the ESPRESSO spectrograph at the Very Large Telescope to measure velocity shifts and gravitational redshifts of eight bona fide Hyades white dwarfs, with an accuracy better…

A catalogue of cataclysmic variables from 20 years of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey with new classifications, periods, trends and oddities

Keith Inight, Boris Gänsicke, Elmé Breedt +7

We present a catalogue of 507 cataclysmic variables (CVs) observed in SDSS I to IV including 70 new classifications collated from multiple archival data sets. This represents the l…
