The catalogue lists coordinates, apparent magnitudes, orbital parameters, and stellar parameters of the components and other characteristc properties of 472 cataclysmic binaries, 71 low-mass X-ray binaries and 113 related objects with known or suspected orbital periods together with a comprehensive selection of the relevant recent literature. In addition the catalogue contains a list of references to published finding charts for 635 of the 656 objects, and a cross-reference list of alias object designations. Literature published before 1 January 2003 has, as far as possible, been taken into account. All data can be accessed via the dedicated catalogue webpage at http://www.mpa-garching.mpg.de/RKcat/ (MPA) and http://physics.open.ac.uk/RKcat/ (OU). We will update the information given on the catalogue webpage regularly, initially every six months.

  1. Cataclysmic Variables Photometric Periods from TESS

    astro-ph.SR 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.5 of 10

    TESS photometry yields coherent periods for 1,362 CVs, including roughly 465–565 first determinations, and confirms the 2–3 h period gap with a median period near 3.68 h.

  2. Rapid Orbital Decay in the Ultracompact Double-degenerate Binary eRASSU J060839.5$-$704014

    astro-ph.HE 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The 374-second white-dwarf binary eRASSU J060839.5-704014 has an orbital decay rate of -4.7e-11 s/s, implying a chirp mass near 0.43 solar masses if gravitational waves drive the decay.

  3. Cataclysmic variables from Gaia XP spectra: The Gaia emission-line magnitude (GEM) diagram

    astro-ph.SR 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A Gaia-based emission-line magnitude diagram separates cataclysmic variables from white dwarfs, hot subdwarfs and WD+MS binaries, recovering known CVs and yielding three new candidates within 250 pc.

  4. Cataclysmic variables from SRG/eROSITA: new systems from eRASS1

    astro-ph.SR 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    A Random Forest plus Gaia/eROSITA match yields 156 spectroscopically confirmed CVs from eRASS1, spanning subtypes, periods, and luminosities, with the method outperforming several published alternatives.

  5. SRG/eROSITA X-ray selected cataclysmic variable candidates observed in SDSS-V DR20

    astro-ph.SR 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    eROSITA-selected SDSS-V DR20 spectroscopy yields 587 cataclysmic variables (274 known), including new nearby systems, AM CVns, and a low-accretion-rate polar.

  6. XP-TEAL: Gaia XP Tool for Emission and Absorption Lines II. Gaia-HELIX catalogue of H$\alpha$ emitters in Gaia BP/RP spectra

    astro-ph.SR 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Gaia-HELIX is a new catalogue of 28,394 bona-fide Hα emitters identified in Gaia DR3 XP spectra, after removing 95% of initial candidates that were M-type star mimics.
