(Phys.org)—A new magnetic cataclysmic variable (CV) star has been detected by astronomers in the constellation of Draco. The newly found object, designated DDE 32, exhibits a large amplitude variability with one of the shortest orbital periods - about 100.5 minutes. The findings are reported in a paper published Sept. 27 on the arXiv pre-print server.
