- Description:
- This catalog contains data for 1020 cataclysmic variables (CVs). It includes coordinates measured in the reference frame of the Hubble Space Telescope Guide Star Survey for non-novae and from the literature for novae. Also given are the variability type, the magnitude range, references to finding charts and spectroscopy, the galactic latitude and longitude, and the year of outburst for novae. The second edition includes plate identification information for the coordinate measurements, a reference to the classification, proper motion information where appropriate and a table showing the CVs observed by space-based observatories. This version of the catalog includes 195 new objects (172 CVs and 23 non-CVs), revised identifications for 57 objects, and revised classifications and spectral references where available.

- Description:
- The Catalog and Atlas of Cataclysmic Variables (Edition 1: Downes & Shara; Edition 2: Downes, Webbink, & Shara) has been a valuable source of information for the cataclysmic variable community. However, the goal of having a central location for all objects is slowly being lost as each new edition is generated. There can also be a long time delay between new information becoming available on an object and its publication in the catalog. To eliminate these concerns, as well as to make the catalog more accessible, we have created a Web site which will contain a "living" edition of the catalog. We have also added orbital period information, as well as finding charts for novae, to the catalog. This catalogue supersedes the previous versions of 1997 (Cat. <V/94>) and 1993 (Cat. <V/79>). This version is dated February 2006, and supersedes the 2001 version (Cat. <V/110>)

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- An atlas of 90 northern dwarf novae (delta greater than 20{deg}) is presented. It is meant to supplement the Atlas of Southern and Equatorial Dwarf Novae of Vogt and Bateson (1982). Together, these publications represent a comprehensive collection of dwarf nova finding charts for the whole sky. In addition to the atlas, coordinates are given for most of the dwarf novae with accuracies significantly higher than published hitherto.

- 2006-2016 CCD photometry of V723 Cassiopeia
- Short Name:
- J/AJ/155/58
- Date:
- 21 Oct 2021
- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present photometric data of the classical nova, V723 Cas (Nova Cas 1995), over a span of 10 years (2006 through 2016) taken with the 0.9 m telescope at Lowell Observatory, operated as the National Undergraduate Research Observatory (NURO) on Anderson Mesa near Flagstaff, Arizona. A photometric analysis of the data produced light curves in the optical bands (Bessel B, V, and R filters). The data analyzed here reveal an asymmetric light curve (steep rise to maximum, followed by a slow decline to minimum), the overall structure of which exhibits pronounced evolution including a decrease in magnitude from year to year, at the rate of ~0.15 mag/yr. We model these data with an irradiated secondary and an accretion disk with a hot spot using the eclipsing binary modeling program Nightfall. We find that we can model reasonably well each season of observation by changing very few parameters. The longitude of the hot spot on the disk and the brightness of the irradiated spot on the companion are largely responsible for the majority of the observed changes in the light curve shape and amplitude until 2009. After that, a decrease in the temperature of the white dwarf is required to model the observed light curves. This is supported by Swift/X-Ray Telescope observations, which indicate that nuclear fusion has ceased, and that V723 Cas is no longer detectable in the X-ray.

- Census of blue stars in SDSS DR8
- Short Name:
- J/ApJS/215/24
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present a census of the 12060 spectra of blue objects ((g-r)_0_<-0.25) in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 8 (DR8). As part of the data release, all of the spectra were cross-correlated with 48 template spectra of stars, galaxies, and QSOs to determine the best match. We compared the blue spectra by eye to the templates assigned in SDSS DR8. 10856 of the objects matched their assigned template, 170 could not be classified due to low signal-to-noise ratio, and 1034 were given new classifications. We identify 7458 DA white dwarfs, 1145 DB white dwarfs, 273 rarer white dwarfs (including carbon, DZ, DQ, and magnetic), 294 subdwarf O stars, 648 subdwarf B stars, 679 blue horizontal branch stars, 1026 blue stragglers, 13 cataclysmic variables, 129 white dwarf-M dwarf binaries, 36 objects with spectra similar to DO white dwarfs, 179, quasi-stellar objects (QSOs), and 10 galaxies. We provide two tables of these objects, sample spectra that match the templates, figures showing all of the spectra that were grouped by eye, and diagnostic plots that show the positions, colors, apparent magnitudes, proper motions, etc., for each classification.

- ChaMPlane deep galactic bulge survey. I.
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/700/1702
- Date:
- 21 Oct 2021
- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We have carried out a deep X-ray and optical survey with Chandra and HST of low-extinction regions in the Galactic bulge. Here we present the results of a search for low-luminosity (L_X_<~10^34^erg/s) accreting binaries among the Chandra sources in the region closest to the Galactic center, at an angular offset of 1.4{deg}, that we have named the Limiting Window (LW). Based on their blue optical colors, excess H{alpha} fluxes, and high X-ray-to-optical flux ratios, we identify three likely accreting binaries; these are probably white dwarfs accreting from low-mass companions (cataclysmic variables; CVs) although we cannot exclude that they are quiescent neutron-star or black-hole low-mass X-ray binaries. Distance estimates put these systems farther than >~2kpc. Based on their H{alpha}-excess fluxes and/or high X-ray-to-optical flux ratios, we find 22 candidate accreting binaries; however, the properties of some can also be explained if they are dMe stars or active galaxies.

- CI Cyg BVRcIc light curves
- Short Name:
- J/MNRAS/399/2139
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- In this paper, we discuss the early phases of the ongoing outburst that CI Cyg, a prototype symbiotic star, is currently undergoing after 30-year quiescence. We have tightly monitored CI Cyg in B V R_C_ I_C_ bands, starting a whole year before the onset of the outburst, and in addition we obtained numerous Echelle high- and low-resolution absolutely flux-calibrated spectra. The outburst started while the accreting white dwarf (WD) was being eclipsed by the Roche lobe filling M giant companion, and it was discovered during the egress phase on the second half of 2008 August. The system reached peak V-band brightness in early 2008 October and has been characterized by amplitudes {delta}B=1.9, {delta}V=1.5, {delta}R_C_=0.9, {delta}I_C_=0.4mag. At maximum V-band brightness, the outbursting WD had expanded to closely resemble an F3 II/Ib star, with MV=-3.5, Teff~6900K and R=28R_{sun}_. The high-ionization emission lines ([NeV], [FeVII], HeII) disappeared and only lower ionization lines were visible. Balmer and He I emission lines declined in equivalent width but increased in absolute flux. The output radiated by the hot component during the outburst corresponds to nuclear burning proceeding at a 2x10^-8^M_{sun}_/yr rate.

- Collinder 261 Chandra sources & optical counterparts
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/837/130
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present the first X-ray study of Collinder 261 (Cr261), which at an age of 7Gyr is one of the oldest open clusters known in the Galaxy. Our observation with the Chandra X-Ray Observatory is aimed at uncovering the close interacting binaries in Cr261, and reaches a limiting X-ray luminosity of L_X_~4x10^29^erg/s (0.3-7keV) for stars in the cluster. We detect 107 sources within the cluster half-mass radius r_h_, and we estimate that among the sources with L_X_>~10^30^erg/s, ~26 are associated with the cluster. We identify a mix of active binaries and candidate active binaries, candidate cataclysmic variables, and stars that have "straggled" from the main locus of Cr261 in the color-magnitude diagram. Based on a deep optical source catalog of the field, we estimate that Cr261 has an approximate mass of 6500M_{sun}_, roughly the same as the old open cluster NGC6791. The X-ray emissivity of Cr261 is similar to that of other old open clusters, supporting the trend that they are more luminous in X-rays per unit mass than old populations of higher (globular clusters) and lower (the local neighborhood) stellar density. This implies that the dynamical destruction of binaries in the densest environments is not solely responsible for the observed differences in X-ray emissivity.

- CVs from SDSS. VIII. The final year
- Short Name:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- This paper completes the series of cataclysmic variables (CVs) identified from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) I/II. The coordinates, magnitudes, and spectra of 33 CVs are presented. Among the 33 are eight systems known prior to SDSS (CT Ser, DO Leo, HK Leo, IR Com, V849 Her, V405 Peg, PG1230+226, and HS0943+1404), as well as nine objects recently found through various photometric surveys. Among the systems identified since the SDSS are two polar candidates, two intermediate polar candidates, and one candidate for containing a pulsating white dwarf. Our follow-up data have confirmed a polar candidate from Paper VII and determined tentative periods for three of the newly identified CVs. A complete summary table of the 285 CVs with spectra from SDSS I/II is presented as well as a link to an online table of all known CVs from both photometry and spectroscopy that will continue to be updated as future data appear.
