Time-resolved spectroscopy of the novalike variable UU Aquarii is analyzed with eclipse mapping techniques to produce spatially resolved spectra of its accretion disc and gas stream as a function of distance from disc centre in the range…
We report a time-lapse eclipse mapping analysis of B-band time-series of the nova-like variable UU Aqr along a typical stunted outburst in 2002 August. Disc asymmetries rotating in the prograde sense in the eclipse maps are interpreted as a…
The SW Sextantis stars are a group of cataclysmic variables with distinctive observational characteristics, including absorption features in the emission line cores at phases 0.2-0.6. Hellier and Robinson have proposed that these features…

We present an analysis of the first far-ultraviolet observations of the SW Sextantis-type cataclysmic variable DW Ursae Majoris, obtained in November 2001 with the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer. The time-averaged spectrum of DW UMa…
We want to study the temporal and spectral behaviour of HU Aqr in the X-ray domain during different accretion states. We obtained spectra and light curves from four different XMM-Newton pointings covering intermediate and low states. The…
We present an analysis of time-resolved, medium resolution optical spectroscopic observations of UX UMa in the blue (3920-5250 A) and red (6100-7200 A) wavelength ranges, that were obtained in April 1999 and March 2008 respectively. The…
[Abridged] We report on time-resolved optical spectroscopy of ten non-eclipsing nova-like cataclysmic variables in the orbital period range between 3 and 4 hours. Of the ten systems so far observed, HL Aqr, BO Cet, AH Men, V380 Oph, AH Pic,…
We present an analysis of high-speed u- and r-band photometry of the eclipsing polar HU Aquarii that was obtained with ULTRACAM mounted on the VLT. The observations were performed during a low state, permitting us for the first time to…
I review the observational properties of SW Sex stars. I show that they can be explained by an accretion stream overflowing the disc, combined with an accretion disc wind. I suggest that SW Sex behaviour is caused by episodes of very high…
We present phase-resolved spectroscopy of the bright, eclipsing polar HU Aqr obtained with high time (~30sec) and spectral (1.6 A) resolution when the system was in a high accretion state. The trailed spectrograms reveal clearly the…
Omicron Aquarii is late-type, Be shell star with a stable and nearly symmetric H$\alpha$ emission line. We combine H$\alpha$ interferometric observations obtained with the Navy Precision Optical Interferometer (NPOI) covering 2007 through…
We apply an eclipse mapping technique to observations of the eclipsing magnetic cataclysmic variable HU Aqr. The observations were made with the S-Cam2 Superconducting Tunnel Junction detector at the WHT in October 2000, providing high…
We present simultaneous EUV and infrared (J,K) observations of the polar HU Aqr obtained during August 1998 when the star was in a high mass accretion state. EUV and IR light curves and EUV spectra are presented and compared with previous…
We report the analysis of a uniform sample of 31 light curves of the nova-like variable UU Aqr with eclipse mapping techniques. The data were combined to derive eclipse maps of the average steady-light component, the long-term brightness…
We present R-band photometry of the SW Sex-type cataclysmic variable WX Arietis made in October 1995 and August 1998-February 1999. Contrary to previous results, we find that WX Ari is an eclipsing system with an orbital inclination of ~72…
AE Aquarii (AE Aqr) is a cataclysmic binary hosting one of the fastest rotating (P$_{\rm spin}$ = 33.08 s) white dwarfs known. Based on seven years of Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) Pass 8 data, we report on a deep search for gamma-ray…
SW Sextantis systems are nova-like cataclysmic variables that have unusual spectroscopic properties, which are thought to be caused by an accretion geometry having part of the mass flux trajectory out of the orbital plane. Accretion onto a…
On the basis of spectrophotometric observations we reconstruct the accretion disk of the eclipsing novalike cataclysmic variable RW Tri in the wavelength region 3600-7000 A. We find a radial temperature profile that is, on average,…
We present the results of recent multicolor photometric and high-resolution spectroscopic observations of the bright Be star Pi Aquarii. Observational data collected from the literature were used to study the star's variations over the last…
