Spectroscopy And Orbital Periods Of Four Cataclysmic Variable Stars, John R. Thorstensen, Cynthia J. Taylor
Spectroscopy And Orbital Periods Of Four Cataclysmic Variable Stars, John R. Thorstensen, Cynthia J. Taylor
Dartmouth Scholarship
We present spectroscopy and orbital periods Porb of four relatively little-studied cataclysmic variable stars. The stars and their periods are: AF Cam, Porb = 0.324(1) d (the daily cycle count is slightly ambiguous); V2069 Cyg (= RX J2123.7+4217), 0.311683(2) d; PG 0935+075, 0.1868(3) d; and KUV 03580+0614, 0.1495(6) d. V2069 Cyg and KUV 03580+0614 both show He iiλ4686 emission comparable in strength to Hβ. V2069 Cyg appears to be a luminous nova-like variable, and the strong He ii suggests it may be an intermediate polar. The period of KUV 03580+0614 is similar to members …
