Line 35:
Apparently the only SSXS nonmagnetic cataclysmic variable is V Sge: bolometric luminosity of (1 - 10) x 10<sup>37</sup>, a binary including a blackbody (BB) accretor at T < 80 eV, and an orbital period of 0.514195 d.<ref name=Greiner/>
 
The accretion disk can become thermally stable in systems with high mass-transfer rates (Ṁ).<ref name=Kato/> Such systems are called nova-like (NL) stars, because they lack outbursts characteristic of dwarf novae.<ref name=Osaki>{{ cite journal |doi=10.1086/133689 |last1=Osaki |first1=Yoji |title=Dwarf-Nova Outbursts |journal=PASPPubl.
