Investigating the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Cataclysmic Variable SSDS J132723.39+652854.2

Photometric and spectroscopic observations reveal the Sloan Digital Sky Survey cataclysmic variable SDSS J132723.39+652854.2 to be a likely SW Sex star with an orbital period of P = 3.28 hours. The Sloan Digital Sky Survey spectrum shows strong HeI, HeII and Balmer emission lines. Time resolved spectra acquired at Apache Point Observatory reveal absorption-line structure within the emission lines near phase 0.5. Photometric data obtained at Manastash Ridge Observatory using Harris V and B filters reveal a high inclination system (i = 80 degrees) with deep (~ 2 mag.) eclipses. The orbital period and the spectral variations favor an SW Sex interpretation.
