Superhumps in Low–Mass X–Ray Binaries
We propose a mechanism for the superhump modulations observed in optical photometry of at least two black hole X-ray transients (SXTs). As in extreme mass–ratio cataclysmic variables (CVs), superhumps are assumed to result from the presence of the 3:1 orbital resonance in the accretion disc. This causes the disc to become non–axisymmetric and precess. However the mechanism for superhump luminos...
متن کاملMass transfer in tidally unstable compact binaries
The 2001 outburst of WZ Sagittae has shown the most compelling evidence yet for an enhancement of the mass transfer rate from the donor star during a dwarf nova outburst in the form of hot-spot brightening. I show that even in this extreme case, the brightening can be attributed to tidal heating near the interaction point of an accretion stream with the expanding edge of an eccentric accretion ...
متن کاملProtoplanetary Disk Mass Distribution In Young Binaries
We present millimeter-wave continuum images of four wide (separations 210–800 AU) young stellar binary systems in the Taurus-Auriga star-forming region. For all four sources, the resolution of our observations is sufficient to determine the mm emission from each of the components. In all four systems, the primary star’s disk has stronger millimeter emission than the secondary and in three of th...
متن کاملMass estimates in short–period compact binaries
Using stellar models we investigate the relation between mass and the spectral type of the secondary star in low–mass short–period compact binaries such as cataclysmic variables and soft X–ray transients. Allowing for different mass transfer rates and different system ages prior to mass transfer we find that the secondaries should populate a band in the spectral type vs. mass plane. The mass Mm...
متن کاملIrradiation and mass transfer in low-mass compact binaries
This paper studies the reaction of low-mass stars to anisotropic irradiation and its implications for the long-term evolution of compact binaries (cataclysmic variables and lowmass X-ray binaries). First, we show by means of simple homology considerations that if the energy outflow through the surface layers of a lowmass main sequence star is blocked over a fraction seff < 1 of its surface (e.g...
