Cataclysmic Variables from SDSS VII. The Seventh Year (2006)

Astrophysics of Galaxies 2009-11-13 v1

Abstract

Coordinates, magnitudes and spectra are presented for 39 cataclysmic variables found in Sloan Digital Sky Survey spectra that were primarily obtained in 2006. Of these, 12 were CVs identified prior to the SDSS spectra (GY Cnc, GO Com, ST LMi, NY Ser, MR Ser, QW Ser, EU UMa, IY UMa, HS1340+1524, RXJ1610.1+0352, Boo 1, Leo 5). Follow-up spectroscopic observations of seven systems (including one from year 2005 and another from year 2004) were obtained, resulting in estimates of the orbital periods for 3 objects. The new CVs include two candidates for high inclination, eclipsing systems, 4 new Polars and three systems whose spectra clearly reveal atmospheric absorption lines from the underlying white dwarf.
