Abstract

We present time-resolved spectroscopy and photometry of SDSS J100658.40+233724.4, which we have discovered to be an eclipsing cataclysmic variable with an orbital period of 0.18591324 days (267.71507min). The observed velocity amplitude of the secondary star is 276+/-7km/s, which an irradiation correction reduces to 258+/-12km/s. Doppler tomography of emission lines from the infrared calcium triplet supports this measurement. We have modelled the light curve using the LCURVE code and Markov Chain Monte Carlo simulations, finding a mass ratio of 0.51+/-0.08. From the velocity amplitude and the light curve analysis we find the mass of the white dwarf to be 0.78+/-0.12M_{sun}_ and the masses and radii of the secondary star to be 0.40+/-0.10M_{sun}_ and 0.466+/-0.036R_{sun}_, respectively. The secondary component is less dense than a normal main sequence star but its properties are in good agreement with the expected values for a CV of this orbital period. By modelling the spectral energy distribution of the system we find a distance of 676+/-40pc and estimate a white dwarf effective temperature of 16500+/-2000K.
