The Missing CV Population: Results From An Objective Prism Survey
C. Tappert, T. Augusteijn, J. Maza
TL;DR
This study reports the discovery of 21 cataclysmic variables through an objective prism survey, including 12 new objects, challenging existing theoretical models of CV populations.
Contribution
It provides new observational data on CVs that suggests the need to revise theoretical models rather than attribute discrepancies to observational bias.
Findings
Detected 21 CVs, 12 of which are new
Results imply theoretical models need revision
Mismatch not due to observational bias
Abstract
We present the results of a search for cataclysmic variables (CVs) in the Calan-Tololo survey. We detected a total number of 21 CVs, 12 of them are previously unknown objects. Our results suggest that the mismatch between the theoretically predicted sample and the observed one is not due to observational bias but has to be resolved by a revision of the theoretical models.
