The morphology and optical spectrum of IPHASXJ210205+471015, a nebula classified as a possible planetary nebula, are however strikingly similar to those of ATCnc, a classical nova shell around a dwarf nova. To investigate its true nature,…
CR Boo is one of the brightest and most famous AM CVn stars showing dwarf nova-type outbursts. Previous studies showed different modes of outbursts in this object ranging from the one equivalent to a hydrogen-rich ER UMa star or WZ Sge star…
Cataclysmic Variables (CVs) are semi-detached binaries composed of a white dwarf orbiting a lower-mass K or M star. We investigate whether CVs are responsible for a new intriguing feature (the `hook') that appears in the Gaia DR3…
We present time-series observations, spectra and archival outburst data of a newly-discovered variable star in Hercules, Var Her 04. Its orbital period, mass ratio, and outburst amplitude resemble those of the UGWZ-type subclass of UGSU…
In this Letter, we report the results of spectroscopic and photometric monitoring of the candidate luminous blue variable (LBV) WS1, which was discovered in 2011 through the detection of a mid-infrared circular shell and follow-up optical…
We observed an X-ray selected, deeply eclipsing cataclysmic variable IR Com (=S 10932). We detected an outburst occurring on 1996 January 1. The light curve of the outburst closely resembled that of a normal outburst of an SU UMa-type dwarf…
Continuing our work from Paper I (Southworth et al., 2006) we present medium-resolution spectroscopy and broad-band photometry of seven cataclysmic variables (CVs) discovered by the SDSS. For six of these objects we derive accurate orbital…
We report follow-up observations of five cataclysmic variable candidates from LAMOST published by Hou et al. (2020). LAMOST J024048.51+195226.9 is the most unusual of the five; an early-M type secondary star contributes strongly to its…
Recent observations of two unusual Z Cam systems, V513 Cas and IW And have shown light curves that seem to contradict the disc-instability model for dwarf novae: outbursts are appearing during standstills of the system when according to the…
Accreting white dwarfs (WDs) constitute a significant fraction of the hard X-ray sources detected by the INTEGRAL observatory. Most of them are magnetic Cataclysmic Variables (CVs) of the intermediate polar (IP) and polar types, but the…
Results of a multi-color study of the variability of the magnetic cataclysmic variable BY Cam are presented. The observations were obtained at the Korean 1.8m and Ukrainian 2.6m, 1.2m and 38-cm telescopes in 2003-2005, 56 observational runs…
We present four nights of time-resolved photometry of the cataclysmic variable star HV And. Our time series analysis has revealed a prominent period at 3.368 +/- 0.060 hours, as well as some low frequency power. We interpret this signal,…
The SW Sextantis stars are novalike cataclysmic variables (CVs) which exhibit intricate behaviour which is still a matter of debate. For years the common belief has been that these systems were the``outlaws'' of the CVs, mainly because of…
We explore the observational appearance of the merger of a low-mass star with a white dwarf (WD) binary companion. We are motivated by Schreiber et al. (2016), who found that multiple tensions between the observed properties of cataclysmic…
SDSS J183131.63+420220.2 is an AM CVn-type cataclysmic variable. Using Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) and Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) data, I found that this object is actually a helium dwarf nova, which…
GD 552 is a high proper motion star with the strong, double-peaked emission lines characteristic of the dwarf nova class of cataclysmic variable star, and yet no outburst has been detected during the past 12 years of monitoring. We present…
It is predicted that half or more of all cataclysmic variables (CVs) should have evolved past the period minimum and now exist as so-called "period bouncers" where a white dwarf should be accreting from a Roche-lobe filling substellar…
We present the results of a search for nova shells around 101 cataclysmic variables (CVs), using Halpha images taken with the 4.2-m William Herschel Telescope (WHT) and the 2.5-m Isaac Newton Telescope Photometric Halpha Survey of the…
We report the discovery of 11 new cataclysmic variable (CV) candidates by the Isaac Newton Telescope (INT) Photometric H alpha Survey of the northern Galactic plane (IPHAS). Three of the systems have been the subject of further follow-up…
LS And was a transient discovered in 1971 in the M31 region and it has been argued whether it could be an intergalactic nova or a dwarf nova. Using the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) data, I found that the object underwent the second known…
