Time-resolved Photometry and Spectroscopy of the Cataclysmic Variable V592 Cassiopeiae
Abstract
Over the past 10 years, the cataclysmic variable (CV) V592 Cassiopeiae (LS I 55 deg-8) has been monitored by one of the authors. We now present time-resolved optical and infrared photometry and optical spectroscopy of this nova-like binary. Analysis of these data provides the first orbital solution for this star. We find an orbital period near 0.114 days (2.7 hr), a system inclination of 28 deg, and a mass ratio (M_2/M_1) of 0.19. V592 Cas appears to be a nova-like cataclysmic variable with a massive white dwarf primary and lies inside the CV period gap.
