چکیده
We consider accretion onto the white dwarfs in cataclysmic variables in relation to nova eruptions, dwarf nova outbursts, hibernation and non-radial oscillations.

Recently published observations of VY Scl stars in their low, long-intermediate and high states confirm our model (Hameury & Lasota 2002) according to which accretion disks in such systems must vanish when their temperature corresponds to thermally unstable configurations. An observational confirmation of the hypothesis that the disk disappearance is caused by magnetic effects would have import...

I review the method of Doppler tomography which translates binary-star line profiles taken at a series of orbital phases into a distribution of emission over the binary. I begin with a discussion of the basic principles behind Doppler tomography, including a comparison of the relative merits of maximum entropy regularisation versus filtered back-projection for implementing the inversion. Follow...
متن کامل1 High spectral resolution time - resolved optical spectroscopy of V 893
We present high resolution time-resolved optical spectra of the high inclination short orbital period dwarf nova V893 Sco. We performed spectral analysis through radial velocity measurements, Doppler mapping, and ratioed Doppler maps. Our results indicate that V893 Sco's accretion disk is dissimilar to WZ Sge's accretion disk, and does not fit any of the current accretion disk models. We derive...
متن کاملFireballs, Flares and Flickering: A Semi-analytic, LTE, Explosive Model from Accretion Disks to Supernovae
We derive simple analytic expressions for the continuum lightcurves and spectra of flaring and flickering events that occur over a wide range of astrophysical systems. We compare these results to data taken from the cataclysmic variable SS Cygni and also with SN 1987A, deriving physical parameters for the material involved. Fits to the data indicate a nearly time-independent photospheric temper...
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...
