SDSSCVCAT ivo://nasa.heasarc/sdsscvcat NASA/GSFC HEASARC Szkody et al. 2026-10-09 NASA/GSFC HEASARC help desk heasarc-vo at athena.gsfc.nasa.gov Survey Source The reference paper completed the series of cataclysmic variables (CVs) identified from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) I and II. The coordinates, magnitudes, and SDSS spectra of 33 more CVs were presented. Among the 33 are eight systems known prior to SDSS (CT Ser, DO Leo, HK Leo, IR Com, V849 Her, V405 Peg, PG1230+226, and HS0943+1404), as well as nine objects recently found through various photometric surveys. Among the systems identified since the SDSS are two polar candidates, two intermediate polar candidates, and one candidate for containing a pulsating white dwarf. A complete summary table of the 285 CVs with spectra from SDSS I/II which were listed in the reference paper and the 7 previous papers in the series is contained herein. This table was created by the HEASARC in January 2012 based on an electronic version of Table 6 from the reference paper which was obtained from the AJ web site.
