(1) An excellent introductory book to CVs is: Hellier C., Cataclysmic Variable Stars--how and why they vary, Springer, 2001.
The project shows that something as far away and otherworldly as an X-ray-emitting cataclysmic variable binary star system can be significant to humans for two distinct reasons - one scientific and one artistic.
Over the years, astronomers have found a multitude of these pairs of mercurial stars, known as cataclysmic variables. Now, scientists have for the first time obtained spectra of tightly orbiting binary stars, which may well be cataclysmic variables, within the crowded confines of a globular star cluster.
This result suggests that cataclysmic variables are more common than previously thought.
et al., 'The new cataclysmic variable RX J1554.2+2721 in the period gap', http://arxiv.org/abs/astro-ph/0110048v1 (2001)
After astronomers accumulated evidence that the typical cataclysmic variable was part of a binary system, Cragg and Bornhurst followed U Geminorum intensively at minimum light, looking for eclipses during the star's quiescent periods.
T Pyxidis is a cataclysmic variable star (also called a recurrent nova).
Observations of certain binaries, known as cataclysmic variable stars, will involve a special collaboration with observers on the ground, notes Stachnik.
Research projects that need more amateur attention, professionals said, include asteroid light curves and fast-cadence photometry of old novae and other cataclysmic variable stars.
Dwarf novae are a class of cataclysmic variable star in which a white dwarf primary accretes material from a secondary star via Roche lobe overflow.
On most clear nights for the last decade, Dvorak has used his "semi-automated" 10-inch Schmidt-Cassegrain scope and CCD camera to measure eclipsing binaries, RR Lyraes, and cataclysmic variable stars for the AAVSO.
