Superhumps in Cataclysmic Binaries. XXIII. V442 Ophiuchi and RX J1643.7+3402

We report the results of long observing campaigns on two novalike variables: V442 Ophiuchi and RX J1643.7+3402. These stars have high‐excitation spectra, complex line profiles signifying mass loss at particular orbital phases, and similar orbital periods (respectively, 0.12433 and 0.12056 days). They are well‐credentialed members of the SW Sex class …
