We performed a detailed analysis of extensive photometric observations of a sample of most active dwarf novae, that is SU UMa stars which are characterised by supercycle lengths shorter than 120 days. We found the observational evidence…

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…

We present the evolution of optical spectra and lightcurves of the fast nova V1674 Herculis during 150 days past its eruption. Using the post-eruption AAVSO light curve, we have calculated the orbital period of V1674 Her to be 0.153 days.…

We have carried out a synthetic spectral analysis of archival IUE spectra of the old nova V841 Oph (Nova Oph 1848) taken 15 years apart. The spectra reveal a rising continuum shortward of 1560\AA, a C {\sc iv} P-Cygni profile indicative of…

We analyzed a Kepler light curve of KIC 8751494, a recently recognized novalike cataclysmic variable in the Kepler field. We detected a stable periodicity of 0.114379(1) d, which we identified as being the binary's orbital period. The…

The first results of a photometric survey of faint Cataclysmic Variables are presented. V359 Cen is an SU UMa star with a period of 112 min. Even though observed at quiescence, the mass transfer rate in this old nova may be sufficiently…

Novae were discovered to emit transient gamma rays during the period of several days to a few weeks after initial explosion, indicating presence of acceleration processes of particles in their expanding shells. In the case of recurrent…

We examined data on about 20 years of observations of ER UMa available in AAVSO, VSNET, AFOEV, NSVS, VSOLJ databases together with published light curves. The obtained O-C diagram revealed a systematic change of the supercycle (time…

Aims: We aim to perform the first long-term analysis of the system HS Hya. Methods: We performed an analysis of the long-term evolution of the light curves of the detached eclipsing system HS Hya. Collecting all available photometric data…

We report the results of long observing campaigns on two novalike variables: V442 Ophiuchi and RX J1643.7+3402. These stars have high-excitation spectra, complex line profiles signifying mass loss at particular orbital phases, and similar…

Light curves of superhumps and their evolution during superoutbursts are analyzed by decomposing them into their Fourier components, including the fundamental mode and the first three overtones. The amplitudes of the fundamental mode are…

We report high-cadence photometry of the ultra-fast ($t_2\sim1.2$ d) nova V1674 Her during its rise to maximum light ($V\sim6.3$) and the beginning of its subsequent decline. These observations from Evryscope and the Mount Laguna…

We report on our time-resolved CCD photometry during the 2005 June superoutburst of a WZ Sge-type dwarf nova candidate, ASAS 160048-4846.2. The ordinary superhumps underwent a complex evolution during the superoutburst. The superhump…

The evolution of the luminosity of nova shells in the century following the nova outburst is studied for the lines H-alpha, H-beta, and [O III]. About 1200 flux measurements from 96 objects have been collected from the literature, from…

We present time-resolved CCD photometry of V2275 Cyg 790 days after the nova outburst. The data show a 20% peak-to-peak oscillation with a period of 24 minutes. The period appears stable over the two nights of observation, but QPO can not…

We examine published observations of dwarf nova oscillations (DNOs) on the rise and decline of outbursts and show that their rates of change are in reasonable agreement with those predicted from the magnetic accretion model. We find…

Extremely luminous, red eruptive variables like RV in M31 are being suggested as exemplars of a new class of astrophysical object. Our greatly extended series of nova simulations shows that classical nova models can produce very red,…

We report the results of a long campaign of time-series photometry on the nova-like variable UX Ursae Majoris during 2015. It spanned 150 nights, with ~1800 hours of coverage on 121 separate nights. The star was in its normal `high state'…

On a disk deformed to a non-axisymmetric form, a set of oscillations can be excited by their resonant interaction through the disk deformation (Kato et al. 2011). This resonant instability process has been proposed to suggest a possible…

We report precise measures of the orbital and superhump period in twenty more dwarf novae. For ten stars, we report new and confirmed spectroscopic periods - signifying the orbital period P_o - as well as the superhump period P_sh. These…
