Gravitational Radiation from Strongly Magnetized White Dwarfs
The magnetic fields of white dwarfs distort their shape generating an anisotropic moment of inertia. A magnetized white dwarf which rotates obliquely relative to the symmetry axis has a mass quadrupole moment which varies in time, so it will emit gravitational radiation. LISA may be able to detect the gravitational waves from two nearby, quickly rotating white dwarfs.
متن کاملAdvection-Dominated Accretion Onto Weakly-Magnetized White Dwarfs
The boundary layers of weakly-magnetized white dwarfs (WDs) accreting at rates ∼< 10 16 g s are radially extended, hot, optically-thin, and they advect some of their internally-dissipated energy (Narayan & Popham 1993). Motivated by this, I construct here idealized spectral models of an Advection-Dominated Accretion Flow (ADAF) around a WD, for application to quiescent Dwarf Novae (DN). The Bre...
متن کاملThe Virial Theorem for Action-governed Theories
We describe a simple derivation of virial relations, for arbitrary physical systems that are governed by an action. The virial theorem may be derived directly from the action, A, with no need to go via the equations of motion, and is simply a statement of the stationarity of the action with respect to certain variations in the degrees of freedom. Only a sub-class of solutions that obey appropri...
متن کاملThe Anisotropic Transfer of Resonance Photons in Hot Plasmas on Magnetized White Dwarfs
In order to confirm the anisotropic effect of resonance photons in hot accretion columns on white dwarfs in magnetic cataclysmic variables, proposed by Terada et al.(2001), systematic studies with ASCA of 7 polars and 12 intermediate polars are performed. The equivalent widths of He-like Fe Kα line of polars are found to be systematically modulated at their spin periods in such a way that it in...
متن کاملAccreting White Dwarfs
Thermonuclear (type Ia) supernovae are explosions in accreting white dwarfs, but the exact scenario leading to these explosions is still unclear. An important step to clarify this point is to understand the behaviour of accreting white dwarfs in close binary systems. The characteristics of the white dwarf (mass, chemical composition, luminosity), the accreted material (chemical composition) and...
