Long-term Study of Changes in the Orbital Periods of 18 Eclipsing SW Sextantis Stars.

Abstract (from CDS):

SW Sex stars are an informal sub-class of eclipsing nova-like cataclysmic variables. We report 934 new eclipse times measured over the past 17 years for HS 0728+6738 (V482 Cam), SW Sex, DW UMa, HS 0129+2933 (TT Tri), V1315 Aql, PX And, HS 0455+8315, HS 0220+0603, BP Lyn, BH Lyn, LX Ser, UU Aqr, V1776 Cyg, RW Tri, 1RXS J064434.5+334451, AC Cnc, V363 Aur, and BT Mon. When combined with published eclipse times going back in some cases many decades, we show that these binary systems exhibit a range of behaviors, including increasing, decreasing, and possibly oscillating orbital periods. Nevertheless, the duration of these observations is still not long enough to be able to make reliable quantitative statements about their long term behaviors. In addition to these long term trends, we also observed rapid and unusual decreases in the orbital periods of SW Sex and RW Tri during 2017 and 2018, respectively.
