A Search for Superhumps in the Cataclysmic Variable SW Sextantis    [PDF]

Gerald D. Rude II, F. A. Ringwald

We present differential photometry of the cataclysmic variable star SW Sextantis. A time series analysis was performed in search of superhumps in the accretion disk of this star, which is the prototype of a class of cataclysmic variables, the SW Sex stars. We find no superhumps, which shows that the presence of superhumps is not a defining feature of the SW Sex stars.
