Abstract (from CDS):

We report the discovery of two new accreting pulsating white dwarf stars among the cataclysmic variables of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: SDSS J074531.91+453829.5 and SDSS J091945.10+085710.0. We observe high-amplitude nonsinusoidal variations of 4.5%-7% at a period close to 1230 s in the optical light curves of SDSS J074531.91+453829.5 and a low-amplitude variation of 0.7%-1.6% near 260 s in the light curves of SDSS J091945.10+085710.0. We infer that these optical variations are a consequence of nonradial g-mode pulsations in the accreting primary white dwarfs of these cataclysmic variables. However, we cannot rule out the remote possibility that the 260 s period could be the spin period of the accreting white dwarf SDSS J091945.10+085710.0. We also uncovered a nonvariable, SDSS J171145.08+301320.0, during our search; our two observing runs exclude any pulsation-related periodicities in the range 85-1400 s with an amplitude ≥0.5%. This discovery paper brings the total number of known accreting white dwarf pulsators to 11.
