Recently, Norton et al. ([CITE]), on the basis of multiwavelength photometry of
1 WGA J1958.2+3232, argued that the –1 day alias of the strongest peak in the power spectrum is the true orbital period of
the system, casting doubts on the period estimated by Zharikov et al.
([CITE]). We re-analyzed this system using our
photometric and spectroscopic
data along with the data kindly provided by Andy
Norton and confirm our previous finding. After refining our analysis we
find that the true
orbital period of this binary system is 4
35.
Key words: stars: individual: 1 WGA J1958.2+3232 / stars: novae, cataclysmic variables / stars: binaries: close / X-rays
