Orbital Period Changes of Recurrent Nova U Scorpii Demonstrate that M $_{ejecta}$ =26 $\times$ M $_{accreted}$ and Is Not a Type Ia Supernova Progenitor

Bradley E. Schaefer, Gordon Myers

Recurrent nova U Scorpii (U Sco) is one of the prototypes for a Type Ia supernova progenitor. The logic is that the white dwarf is near the Chandrasekhar mass and gas is accumulati…

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…
