The influence of selection effects on the observed cataclysmic variable population: modelling and application to the Palomar-Green sample
Magaretha L. Pretorius, Christian Knigge, Ulrich Kolb
Large differences between the properties of the known sample of cataclysmic variable stars (CVs) and the predictions of the theory of binary star evolution have long been recognise…
Discovery of a new cataclysmic variable through optical variability and X-ray emission
Magaretha L. Pretorius, Christian Knigge
Aims: We present discovery observations of the new cataclysmic variable star (CV) 1RXS J092737.4-191529, as well as spectra and photometry of SY Vol. The selection technique that t…
Dwarf nova oscillations and quasi-periodic oscillations in cataclysmic variables -- V. Results from an extensive survey
Magaretha L. Pretorius, Brian Warner, Patrick A. Woudt
We present observations of dwarf nova oscillations (DNOs), longer period dwarf nova oscillations (lpDNOs), and quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) in 13 cataclysmic variable stars (…
