Scientific paper

This is a program to study periodicities in cataclysmic variables which have been hidden or severely aliased by the effect of the Earth's rotation. By combining data from several observatories well spaced in longitude, we will conquer the aliasing problem and find the true frequency structure. The targets are helium CVs, whose dynamical phenomena play out on the shortest, and therefore most accessible, timescales. Over the past 3 years, we have used such data to learn orbital periods, precession periods, and dwarf-nova outburst cycles. But the fundamental clocks are often nastily convolved with the Earth's rotation period.
