Abstract
We report photometric and simultaneous spectroscopic observations of the
cataclysmic variable J0644+3344 and present calibrated Doppler
tomography results of the object. We have calibrated the spectra for
slit losses using simultaneous photometry. This has been used to
construct reliable Doppler images in the Halpha , Hbeta and He II 4686
Å@ emission lines. We have also performed a radial velocity
analysis using these emission lines to derive the primary semi-amplitude
and used a cophasing method to determine the secondary K_2 best value.
We have improved the ephemeris of the object based on the published and
our new photometric eclipse timings to obtain
HJD=254474.7927+0.26937446E. We derived a K_1=123.2±6.6 {km
s}-1 and K_2=205.4±6.7. Assuming a i>76, the
orbital parameters are M_1=0.91±0.04 M⊙,
M_2=0.83±0.04 M⊙ and a=2.10±0.03
R⊙. Based on the Doppler tomography we conclude that
J0644+3344 is a nova-like SW Sex type system.
