Abstract

Seventeen examples are given of Cataclysmic Variable (CV) stars possessing\nboth Dwarf Nova Oscillations (DNOs) and Quasi-Periodic Oscillations (QPOs).\nThese form an extension of the X-Ray Two-QPO correlation to frequencies three\norders of magnitude lower. We draw attention to the existence of a second type\nof DNO in CVs, which is probably caused by magnetically channelled accretion\nonto the white dwarf.\n
