The Implications of Disc Instabilities on Cataclysmic Variable Structure and Evolution

نویسنده

چکیده

Applications of the thermal-viscous disc instability model to various classes of cataclysmic variable very often require the accretion disc to be truncated. I argue that in most cases this inner truncation must be due to the white dwarf’s magnetic field.

Tilted 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...

AcDc – A new code for the NLTE spectral analysis of accretion discs: application to the helium CV AM CVn

Abstract. We present a recently developed code for detailed NLTE calculations of accretion disc spectra of cataclysmic variables and compact X-ray binaries. Assuming a radial structure of a standard α-disc, the disc is divided into concentric rings. For each disc ring the solution of the radiation transfer equation and the structure equations, comprising the hydrostatic and radiative equilibriu...

Evolutionary Effects of Irradiation in Cataclysmic Variables

The orbital evolution of cataclysmic variables in which the companion is illuminated by a fraction of the accretion luminosity consists of irradiation–driven limit cycles on thermal timescales, superimposed on a secular evolution toward shorter periods due to systemic angular momentum losses. We show that positive orbital period derivatives during bright phases are a natural consequence of the ...

We present low resolution optical spectroscopy for six cataclysmic variable candidates and the old nova V888Cen. We confirm the classification as cataclysmic variable for LB 9963 and FQMon, while the other four candidates turn out to be different type of stars. We discuss the individual spectra and pay special attention to the mass transfer rate and disc temperature and density of the three cat...
