Concluding Remarks: A Golden Age for CVs

Although I do not have enough time to summarize all of the results presented during "The Golden Age of Cataclysmic Variables and Related Objects - VI", I would like to point out that the current Golden-Age of cataclysmic variables (CVs) is alive and well and includes not only our really great astronomical science machines like Gaia and LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA, but also the ingenuity of astronomers to use a wide range of telescopes enabling differing science. In an age of expensive science done from space platforms it is a pleasure to see the remarkable contributions of Condor to search for novae shells and novae super-shells. In addition, CV photometry has entered its own Golden Age due to the large scale studies of transients, like the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF), and the search for exoplanets using Kepler (K2) and the Transiting Terrestrial Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). As the names imply, these programs focus on transients like supernovae, accreting black holes, gamma-ray bursts and the like, as well as for the search for planets. However, CV science surreptitiously benefits from the unprecedented light curves that are now available from these efforts.

Abstract

Although I do not have enough time to summarize all of the results presented during "The Golden Age of Cataclysmic Variables and Related Objects - VI", I would like to point out that the current Golden-Age of cataclysmic variables (CVs) is alive and well and includes not only our really great astronomical science machines like Gaia and LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA, but also the ingenuity of astronomers to use a wide range of telescopes enabling differing science. In an age of expensive science done from space platforms it is a pleasure to see the remarkable contributions of Condor to search for novae shells and novae super-shells. In addition, CV photometry has entered its own Golden Age due to the large scale studies of transients, like the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF), and the search for exoplanets using Kepler (K2) and the Transiting Terrestrial Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). As the names imply, these programs focus on transients like supernovae, accreting black holes, gamma-ray bursts and the like, as well as for the search for planets. However, CV science surreptitiously benefits from the unprecedented light curves that are now available from these efforts.
