Every massive globular cluster (GC) is expected to harbour a significant population of cataclysmic variables (CVs). In this review, I first explain why GC CVs matter astrophysically, how many and what types are theoretically predicted to exist and what observational tools we can use to discover, confirm and study them. I then take a look at how theoretical predictions and observed samples actually stack up to date. In the process, I also reconsider the evidence for two widely held ideas about CVs in GCs: (i) that there must be many fewer dwarf novae than expected; (ii) that the incidence of magnetic CVs is much higher in GCs than in the Galactic field.

  1. Cataclysmic Variables in Triples: Formation Models and New Discoveries

    astro-ph.SR 2025-01 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Triple-star dynamics are a significant, previously neglected formation channel for cataclysmic variables, including a common-envelope-free route.

  2. Searching for links between energetic millisecond pulsars and repeating fast radio bursts

    astro-ph.HE 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    Wideband observations show M28A giant pulses differ from FRB 20200120E bursts in duration, luminosity, timing statistics, and spectral structure, yielding no strong evidence for a direct link.
