We present the first volume-limited sample of cataclysmic variables (CVs), selected using
the accurate parallaxes provided by the second data release (DR2) of the European Space …

Context. The disk instability model (DIM) attributes the outbursts of dwarf novae to a thermal-
viscous instability of their accretion disk, an instability to which nova-like stars are not …

We redetermine the relationship between absolute magnitude and orbital period for dwarf
novae, based on 46 stars with good distance estimates. This improves upon Warner's …

We present colour transformations for the conversion of the Two Micron All Sky Survey
(2MASS) photometric system to the Johnson–Cousins UBVRI system and further into the …

We are systematically surveying all known and suspected Z Cam-type dwarf novae for
classical nova shells. This survey is motivated by the discovery of the largest known …

The spatial distribution, galactic model parameters and luminosity function of cataclysmic
variables (CVs) in the solar neighbourhood have been determined from a carefully …

We present the results of a search for nova shells around 101 cataclysmic variables (CVs),
using H α images taken with the 4.2-m William Herschel Telescope (WHT) and the 2.5-m …

We have developed a method for estimating the orbital periods of dwarf novae from the
Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) colors in quiescence using an artificial neural network. For …

Using high-precision astrometric data from Gaia DR3 and updated systemic velocities from
the literature, the kinematical properties of cataclysmic variables (CVs) were investigated. By …

In this study we present the absolute magnitude calibrations of thin-disc main-sequence
stars in the optical, and in the near-infrared. Thin-disc stars are identified by means of …
