Accretion in Cataclysmic Variable Stars
We consider accretion onto the white dwarfs in cataclysmic variables in relation to nova eruptions, dwarf nova outbursts, hibernation and non-radial oscillations.
متن کاملTilted accretion discs in cataclysmic variables : Tidal instabilities and superhumps
We investigate the growth of tidal instabilities in accretion discs in a binary star potential, using three dimensional numerical simulations. As expected from analytic work, the disc is prone to an eccentric instability provided that it is large enough to extend to the 3:1 resonance. The eccentric disc leads to positive superhumps in the light curve. It has been proposed that negative superhum...
متن کاملTidally distorted accretion discs in binary stars
The non-axisymmetric features observed in the discs of dwarf novae in outburst are usually considered to be spiral shocks, which are the non-linear relatives of tidally excited waves. This interpretation suffers from a number of problems. For example, the natural site of wave excitation lies outside the Roche lobe, the disc must be especially hot, and most treatments of wave propagation do not ...
متن کاملHow Variable Is Accretion in Young Stars?
We analyze the variability in accretion-related emission lines for 40 Classical T Tauri stars to probe the extent of accretion variations in young stellar objects. Our analysis is based on multi-epoch highresolution spectra for young stars in Taurus-Auriga and Chamaeleon I. For all stars, we obtain typically four spectra, covering timescales from hours to months. As proxies for the accretion ra...
متن کاملFITDisk: A Cataclysmic Variable Accretion Disk Demonstration Tool
We present the software tool FITDisk, a precompiled-binary Windows GUI version of our smoothed particle hydrodynamics cataclysmic variable accretion disk research code. Cataclysmic variables are binary star systems in which a compact stellar remnant, typically a white dwarf star, is stripping mass from a lower-main-sequence companion star by way of an accretion disk. Typically the disk is the b...
