cds-question@unistra.frvariable-starscataclysmic-variable-starsvisible-astronomyspectroscopytrigonometric-parallaxphotometrysurveysUsing selection criteria based on amplitude, time, and color, we have identified 329 objects as known or candidate cataclysmic variables (CVs) during the first year of testing and operation of the Zwicky Transient Facility. Of these, 90 are previously confirmed CVs, 218 are strong candidates based on the shape and color of their light curves obtained during 3-562days of observation, and the remaining 21 are possible CVs but with too few data points to be listed as good candidates. Almost half of the strong candidates are within 10{deg} of the galactic plane, in contrast to most other large surveys that have avoided crowded fields. The available Gaia parallaxes are consistent with sampling the low mass transfer CVs, as predicted by population models. Our follow-up spectra have confirmed Balmer/helium emission lines in 27 objects, with four showing high-excitation HeII emission, including candidates for an AM CVn, a polar, and an intermediate polar. Our results demonstrate that a complete survey of the Galactic plane is needed to accomplish an accurate determination of the number of CVs existing in the Milky Way.2020AJ....159..198Shttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/AJ/159/198CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-toB/cb : Cataclysmic Binaries, LMXBs, and related objects (Ritter+, 2004)B/vsx : AAVSO International Variable Star Index VSX (Watson+, 2006-2014)V/123 : Catalog of Cataclysmic Variables (Downes+ 2001-2006)V/133 : Kepler Input Catalog (Kepler Mission Team, 2009)II/335 : Revised catalog of GALEX UV sources (GUVcat_AIS GR6+7) (Bianchi+ 2017)I/345 : Gaia DR2 (Gaia Collaboration, 2018)J/ApJS/117/319 : Northern RASS X-ray sources catalog (Appenzeller+ 1998)J/ApJ/565/511 : Cataclysmic variables in the 2MASS 2IDR (Hoard+, 2002)J/ApJ/696/870 : Catalina Real-time Transient Survey (CRTS) (Drake+, 2009)J/AJ/142/181 : CVs from SDSS.
