The Intriguing New Cataclysmic Variable KUV03580+0614

Photometric and spectroscopic observations of the candidate cataclysmic variable KUV03580+0614, independently found from the Hamburg survey as HS0357+0614, reveal this to be a cataclysmic variable with an orbital period of 3.4 hrs. CVs with periods in this range are usually novalikes belonging to the SW Sex or Intermediate Polar categories. The variability, spectroscopic characteristics and the lack of strong X-rays indicate a system similar to V795 Her, LS Peg and AH Men.
