Scientific paper

A simple model is proposed to explain the approximately 3-hr periodic variations seen in the radiation from Nova Cygni 1975. The underlying binary system creates a spiral density variation in the outflowing wind. Such a spiral may persist to large radii and is then observable where it intersects the scattersphere. Period changes in the observed magnitude variations can naturally occur, without any change in the underlying binary period.
