High-Speed Photometry of Catalina Sources
Abstract
High-speed photometry of cataclysmic variables selected from the Catalina Real-Time Transient (CRTS) survey results in orbital periods for 12 objects (10 dwarf novae and 2 polars). The period distribution for all CRTS sources has a pronounced peak near 80 minutes, confirming previous results from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey cataclysmic variables.
