IM Normae: The Death Spiral of a Cataclysmic Variable?

Patterson, Joseph; Miguel Agustino, Enrique de; Knigge, Christian (American Astronomical Society, 2022-01)

We present a study of the orbital light curves of the recurrent nova IM Normae since its 2002 outburst. The broad “eclipses” recur with a 2.46 hr period, which increases on a timescale of 1.28(16) × 106 yr. Under the ...
