The Intriguing New Cataclysmic Variable KUV 03580+0614
Abstract
Photometric and spectroscopic observations of the candidate cataclysmic variable KUV 03580+0614, independently found from the Hamburg Survey as HS 0357+0614, reveal this to be a cataclysmic variable with an orbital period of 3.4 hr. Cataclysmic variables with periods in this range are usually nova-like variables belonging to the SW Sex or intermediate polar categories. The variability, spectroscopic characteristics, and the lack of strong X-rays indicate a system similar to V795 Her, LS Peg, and AH Men.
