We report on the XMM-Newton observation of HP Cet and Swift J0820.6-2805, two X-ray photon sources that are candidates to be members of the intermediate polar class of cataclysmic variables. If the historical optical light curve of HP Cet…

Context: The object HS 0922+1333 was visited briefly in 2002 in a mini survey of low accretion rate polars (LARPs) in order to test if they undergo high luminosity states similar to ordinary polars. On the basis of that short observation…

The orbital period of the recurrent nova U Sco has been observed to decrease during the 1999 outburst. In an outburst mass is ejected from the surface of the white dwarf. The separation of the binary system widens and the orbital period…

We present optical photometry of the cataclysmic variable LAMOST J024048.51+195226.9 taken with the high-speed, five-band CCD camera HiPERCAM on the 10.4 m Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC). We detect pulsations originating from the spin of…

Light curves of the Z Cam type dwarf nova AT Cnc observed during standstill in 2016 and 2018 are analyzed. On the time scale of hours, previous reports on periodicities, in particular the presence of negative superhumps, could not be…

We report extensive photometry of the dwarf nova V419 Lyr throughout its 2006 July superoutburst till quiescence. The superoutburst with amplitude of ~3.5 magnitude lasted at least 15 days and was characterized by the presence of clear…

We report the discovery of a new, non-eclipsing SU UMa-type dwarf nova, HS 2219+1824. Photometry obtained in quiescence (V ~ 17.5) reveals a double-humped light curve from which we derive an orbital period of ~ 86.2 min. Additional…

We report the detailed history of spin-period changes in five intermediate polars (DQ Herculis, AO Piscium, FO Aquarii, V1223 Sagittarii, and BG Canis Minoris) during the 30-60 years since their original discovery. Most are slowly spinning…

Using X-ray observations from the NuSTAR and Swift satellites, we present temporal and spectral properties of an intermediate polar (IP) IGR J16547-1916. A persistent X-ray period at ~ 546 s confirming the optical spin period obtained from…

We present time resolved photometry of the cataclysmic variable SDSS J081610.84+453010.2 and have established for the first time that it is an eclipsing dwarf nova. We observed an outburst of the system which lasted about 11 days and had an…

We report CCD photometry and analysis of the first observed superoutburst of the SU UMa-type dwarf nova KP Cassiopeiae during 2008 October. We observed a distinct shortening of the superhump period at superhump cycle 15. Before that point…

We present the preliminary timing analysis of confirmed intermediate polar UU Col and possible intermediate polar Swift J0939.7-3224 in the optical band with the help of long-term, high-cadence continuous photometry from Transiting…

We report the identification of the ROSAT all-sky survey source 1RXS J154814.5-452845as new intermediate polar and present the results from follow-up optical and X-ray observations. The source shows pulsations with a period of 693 s both in…

We briefly describe a serendipitous observation of the little-studied intermediate polar WX Pyx using XMM-Newton. The X-ray spin period is 1557.3 sec, confirming the optical period published in 1996. An orbital period of approximately 5.54…

We present a review of the results of long-term photometric monitoring of selected magnetic cataclysmic binary systems, which belong to a class named "Intermediate polars". We found a spin period variability in the V2306 Cygni system. We…

We analyze a 7.4 hr XMM-Newton light curve of the cataclysmic variable Swift J0503.7-2819, previously classified using optical periods as an intermediate polar (IP) with an orbital period of 0.0567 days. A photometric signal at 975 s,…

We present time-resolved spectroscopy and photometry of CSS 120422:111127+571239 (= SBS1108+574), a recently discovered SU UMa-type dwarf nova whose 55-minute orbital period is well below the CV period minimum of ~78 minutes. In contrast…

We present the first time resolved medium resolution optical spectroscopy of the recently identified peculiar Intermediate Polar (IP) 1RXSJ154814.5-452845, which allows us to precisely determine the binary orbital period…

We conducted time-resolved optical spectroscopy and/or photometry of ten cataclysmic binaries that were discovered in hard X-ray surveys, with the goal of measuring their orbital periods and searching for evidence that they are magnetic.…

We present time-resolved CCD photometry of a dwarf nova NSV 4838 (UMa 8, SDSS J102320.27+440509.8) during the 2005 June and 2007 February outburst. Both light curves showed superhumps with a mean period of 0.0699(1) days for the 2005…
