Spectroscopy and orbital periods of four cataclysmic variable stars.

THORSTENSEN J.R. and TAYLOR C.J.

Abstract (from CDS):

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 Heii λ4686 emission comparable in strength to Hβ. V2069 Cyg appears to be a luminous nova-like variable, and the strong Heii suggests it may be an intermediate polar. The period of KUV 03580+0614 is similar to members of the SW Sex-type nova-like variables, and it shows the phase-dependent absorption in the Balmer and Hei lines typical of this subclass. AF Cam shows absorption features from a K-type secondary, as expected given its rather long orbital period. The secondary spectrum and the outburst magnitude both suggest that AF Cam is approximately 1kpc distant. The spectrum of PG 0935+075 resembles that of a dwarf nova at minimum light, with a noticeable contribution from an M-dwarf secondary star. The secondary spectrum and a tentative outburst magnitude both suggest a distance near 500pc.
