XRISM spectroscopy of AM Herculis reveals bulk velocity and temperature gradients in the radiative cooling accretion column, with derived shock temperature of 24 keV, velocity of 1116 km/s, and density of 5-6 x 10^15 cm^-3.
Balmer decrements in CV spectra form a diagnostic diagram that separates period-bouncers from pre-bounce systems via fitted logistic regression.
2CXO J0507 is a polar-type magnetic cataclysmic variable featuring a white dwarf with B ≈ 30 MG and an orbital period of 2.34 hours, identified through multiwavelength archival and follow-up data.
New SED fitting of ASKAP J1745-5051 using model atmospheres, corrected photometry, and added NIR data yields a 15,000 K WD plus 0.05 solar-mass sub-stellar donor at ~320 pc, suggesting a period-bouncer CV.
