Abstract
Over the past 10 years, the cataclysmic variable (CV) V592 Cassiopeiae (LS I 55 degrees-8) has been monitored by one of the authors. We now present time-resolved optical and infrared photometry and optical spec troscopy of this nova-like binary. Analysis of these data provides the first orbital solution for this star. We find an orbital period near 0.114 days (2.7 hr), a system Inclination of 28 degrees, and a mass ra tio (M-2/M-1) of 0.19. V592 Cas appears to be a nova-like cataclysmic variable with a massive white dwarf primary and lies inside the CV per iod gap.
