Investigations of a new eclipsing cataclysmic variable HBHA 4705-03

Abstract

Results of photometric and spectroscopic investigations of the recently discovered eclipsing cataclysmic variable star HBHA 4705-03 are presented. The emission spectra of the system show broad hydrogen and helium emission lines. The bright spots with an approximately zero velocity components are found in the Doppler maps for the hydrogen and ionized helium lines. The disc structure is more prominent in the maps for the neutral helium lines. The masses of the components (M_WD = 0.54 \pm 0.10 M_sun and M_RD = 0.45 \pm 0.05 M_sun), and the orbit inclination (i = 71.8 \pm 0.^7 deg) were estimated using the radial velocity light curve and the eclipse width. The modeling of the light curve allows us to evaluate the bright spot parameters and the mass accretion rate (\dot M \approx 2 10^{17} g s^{-1}).
