Cataclysmic variables
Cataclysmic variables are binary stars in which a relatively normal star is transferring mass to its compact companion. This interaction gives rise to a rich range of behaviour, of which the most noticeable are the outbursts that give the class its name. Novae belong to the class, as do the less well known dwarf novae and magnetic systems. Novae draw their energy from nuclear reactions, while d...
متن کاملRapid Oscillations in Cataclysmic Variables
I give an overview of the rich phenomenology of dwarf nova oscillations (DNOs) and Quasi-periodic Oscillations (QPOs) observed in cataclysmic variable stars (CVs). The favoured interpretation of these rapid brightness modulations (3 – >1000 s time scales) is that they are magnetic in nature – magnetically channelled accretion from the inner accretion disc for DNOs and possible magnetically exci...
متن کاملThe Periods of Cataclysmic Variables
The present status of the period studies of cataclysmic variables is briefly reviewed, mainly from the observational point of view. A few comments on individual objects include EM Cyg, Z Cha, WZ Sge and AM CVn.
متن کاملThe Winds of Cataclysmic Variables
We present an observational and theoretical review of the winds of cataclysmic variables (CVs). Specifically, we consider the related problems of the geometry, ionization state, and mass-loss rate of the winds of CVs. We present evidence of wind variability and discuss the results of studies of eclipsing CVs. Finally, we consider the properties of accretion disk wind and magnetic wind models. S...
