Recent results are presented and discussed regarding the EUV and X-ray emission of nonmagnetic cataclysmic variables. Emphasis is given to high accretion rate systems (novalike variables and dwarf novae in outburst), and to a number of…

EUVE, ROSAT, and ASCA observations of the boundary layer emission of nonmagnetic cataclysmic variables (CVs) are reviewed. EUVE spectra reveal that the effective temperature of the soft component of high-Mdot nonmagnetic CVs is kT ~ 10-20…

EUVE observed the SU UMa-type dwarf nova VW Hydri in superoutburst for an interval of nearly 2 days in 1994 June and produced EUV light curves and the first EUV spectrum of this important CV.

I provide a review of observations in the optical, UV (HST), and EUV (EUVE and Chandra LETG) of the rapid periodic oscillations of nonmagnetic, disk-accreting, high mass-accretion rate cataclysmic variables (CVs), with particular emphasis…

We present the complete set of thirty four ASCA observations of non-magnetic cataclysmic variables. Timing analysis reveals large X-ray flux variations in dwarf novae in outburst (Z Cam, SS Cyg and SU UMa) and orbital modulation in high…

HST and FUSE have provided high signal-to-noise, high-resolution spectra of a variety of cataclysmic variables and have allowed a detailed characterization of FUV emission sources in both high and low states. Here, I describe how this has…

The Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer (EUVE) satellite was used for three days beginning on 1997 Mar 26.96 UT to obtain photometric and spectroscopic observations of the eclipsing SU UMa-type dwarf nova OY Carinae in superoutburst. Because of…

Using EUV photometry obtained with the Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer (EUVE) satellite and UBVR optical photometry obtained with the 2.7-m telescope at McDonald Observatory, we have detected quasi-coherent oscillations (so-called ``dwarf nova…

Here we compute detailed model spectra of recently published optically thick one-dimensional radial baundary layer (BL) models in cataclysmic variables and compare them with observed soft X-ray/extreme ultraviolet (EUV) spectra of dwarf…

We present simultaneous X-ray (lambda_peak ~ 44A) and EUV (lambda_peak = 89A) light curves for the magnetic cataclysmic variable QQ Vulpeculae, obtained with the EUVE satellite. We find that the unique shape of the X-ray light curve is…

We present a parameter study using time dependent calculations of the thermal limit cycle model for dwarf nova outbursts. Our goal is to delineate the dependence of the delay between the initial rapid rise of the visual and EUV fluxes…

We combine AAVSO and VSS/RASNZ optical and Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer EUV light curves of dwarf novae in outburst to place constraints on the nature of dwarf nova outbursts. From the observed optical-EUV time delays of 0.75-1.5 days, we…

As part of the Transient UV Objects project, we have discovered a new outburst (at the beginning of October 2020) of the candidate cataclysmic variable (CV) ASASSN-18eh using the UV/Optical Telescope aboard the Neil Gehrels Swift…

Data obtained by the Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer satellite are used to determine the EUV spectrum of the quasi-coherent oscillations of the dwarf nova SS Cygni. It is found that the spectrum of the oscillations is neither blue nor red nor…

We report time-series photometry of the quiescent optical counterpart of the EUV transient RE J1255+266. The star appears as a DA white dwarf with bright emission lines and a complex spectrum of periodic signals in its light curve. A signal…

We present 8--12\,GHz radio light curves of five dwarf nova (DN) type Cataclysmic Variable stars (CVs) in outburst (RX And, U Gem and Z Cam), or superoutburst (SU UMa and YZ Cnc), increasing the number of radio-detected DN by a factor of…

Far ultraviolet (FUV) observations are excellent probes of the inner accretion disk, disk outflows, and the mass-accumulating white dwarf in cataclysmic variables. Here we study the contrasting behavior of two canonical dwarf novae in…

Radio emission from non-magnetic cataclysmic variables (CVs, accreting white dwarfs) could allow detailed studies of outflows and possibly accretion flows in these nearby, numerous and non-relativistic compact accretors. Up to now, however,…

Outflows in the form of fast winds from the accretion disk appear in nearly all high accretion rate cataclysmic variables (CVs), both novalikes (NLs) and dwarf novae in outburst (DN). The primary signatures of CV winds are broad,…

During re-processing and analysis of the entire ROSAT Wide Field Camera (WFC) pointed observations database, we discovered a serendipitous, off-axis detection of the cataclysmic variable SW UMa at the onset of its 1997 October…
