Request to monitor cataclysmic variables during ORFEUS mission
Abstract:
Observation of cataclysmic variables: dwarf novae (DN) and magnetic novalike (NL) variables during ORFEUS Mission with an interest in monitoring outbursts and brightness states.
Justification:
To understand the evolution and interaction of stars with the interstellar medium during the ORFEUS Mission. Special interest in outbursts and different states of the variables.
