New Interpretation of Superhumps
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Received ABSTRACT Observational evidence is presented for periodically variable irradiation of secondary components. This results in strongly modulated mass outflow. Superhumps are then due to enhanced dissi-pation of the kinetic energy of the stream. Qualitative interpretation of superhump periods and their variations is also presented.

On the Origin of Early Superhumps in WZ Sge-Type Stars
The origin of early superhumps, which are double-wave periodic modulations seen only during the earliest stage of WZ Sge-type outburst, has not been well understood. Based on recent discovery of two-armed arch-like patterns on Doppler tomograms in conjunction with early superhumps, we propose a new interpretation on the origin of early superhumps, following the new interpretation by Smak (2001)...
متن کاملSuperhumps Behavior during Normal Outbursts in ER UMa: Spectroscopy and Photometry
We have taken a 4-day spectroscopic observation and have been conducting a 13-day photometric study of the SU UMa-type dwarf nova, ER Ursae Majoris. The mean K-amplitude for the emission lines is 54± 8 km s and γ velocity is 8±4 km s from our spectroscopic results. A phase shift of 0.22 is also obtained. Our photometric observation confirms superhumps in normal outbursts of ER UMa and reconcile...
متن کاملPhotometric study of new southern SU UMa-type dwarf novae – II: Authentication of BF Ara as a Normal SU UMa-type Dwarf Nova with the Shortest Supercycle
We photometrically observed the 2002 August long outburst of BF Ara. The observation for the first time unambiguously detected superhumps (average period 0.08797(1) d), qualifying BF Ara as a genuine SU UMa-type dwarf nova. An analysis of the longterm visual light curve yielded a mean supercycle length of 84.3(3) d. The characteristics of outbursts and superhumps more resemble those of usual SU...
متن کاملUnusual Phase Reversal of Superhumps in ER Ursae Majoris
We studied the evolution of superhumps in the peculiar SU UMa-type dwarf nova, ER UMa. Contrary to the canonical picture of the SU UMa-type superhump phenomena, the superhumps of ER UMa show an unexpected phase reversal during the very early stage (∼5 d after the superoutburst maximum). We interpret that a sudden switch to so-called late superhumps occurs during the very early stage of a supero...
متن کاملFloquet analysis of disk instabilities and superhumps in Cataclysmic Variables
We analyze the dynamical stability of hydrodynamical flows in the equatorial plane of a thin axisymmetric accretion disk in close binary systems. The periodic tidal forces of the companion star induce parametric instabilities, which are characterized by the Floquet exponent. We propose that the onset of superhumps can be understood in this context. Comparing our model with well-known systems le...
