An Optical Study of Two VY Sculptoris-Type Cataclysmic Binary Stars: V704 And and RX J2338+431
We report observations of the known cataclysmic variable star (CV) V704 And,
and also confirm that the optical counterpart of the ROSAT Galactic Plane
Survey source RX J2338+431 is a heretofore-neglected CV. Photometric and
spectroscopic observations from MDM Observatory show both systems to be
novalike variables that exhibit dips of 4-5 magnitudes from their mean
brightnesses, establishing them as members of the VY~Scl subclass. From
high-state emission-line radial velocities, we determine orbital periods of
0.151424(3) d (3.63 hr) for V704 And and 0.130400(1) d (3.13 hr) for RX
J2338+431. In V704 And, we find that the H-alpha emission-line measures cluster
into distinct regions on a plot of equivalent width versus full width at
half-maximum, which evidently correspond to high, intermediate, and low
photometric states. This allows us to assign spectra to photometric states when
contemporaneous photometry is not available, an apparently novel method that
may be useful in studies of other novalikes. Our low-state spectra of RX
J2338+431 show features of an M-type secondary star, from which we estimate a
distance of 890 +- 200 pc, in good agreement with the Gaia DR2 parallax.Comment: Accepted for Astronomical Journa
Occupational Socialization in Two Service Organizations
This paper is an exploration of some of the processes involved in the creation and maintenance of a shared occupational identity among individuals in organizations. Though focusing specifically on police officers and high school teachers, through this I hope to raise some broader issues concerning the traditional view of occupational socialization and occupations in organizations in the sociological literature
