Accretion in Cataclysmic Variable Stars [PDF]
, 2005 We consider accretion onto the white dwarfs in cataclysmic variables in relation to nova eruptions, dwarf nova outbursts, hibernation and non-radial oscillations.

The hybrid Nova Vul 2024 (=V615 Vul)
Astronomy & AstrophysicsContext. Among galactic novae, many remain poorly characterized due to heterogeneous data, observational challenges, or heavy reddening along the Galactic plane.

Ultraviolet observations of cataclysmic variables [PDF]
Advances in Space Research, 1987 AbstractThe preliminary results of the analysis of more than 1000 spectra of cataclysmic variables in the archive of the International Ultraviolet Explorer were presented at the meeting. To characterize the slope of the spectra I use F = log(f1460Å/f2880Å). For most spectra F lies between 0.2 and 0.7.

The boundary layer in cataclysmic variables [PDF]
Astrophysics and Space Science, 1987 AbstractRecent development in the theory of the boundary layer is considered. The model for the formation of a corona above the WD is discussed in some detail.The interaction of the boundary layer with the stellar interior and possible mixing between the hydrogen-rich accreted matter and the core material is discussed in view of recent numerical ...

The donor stars of cataclysmic variables [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2006 Abstract We carefully consider observational and theoretical constraints on the global properties of secondary stars in cataclysmic variable stars (CVs). We then use these constraints to construct and test a complete, semi-empirical donor sequence for CVs with orbital periods Porb≤ 6 h.

Rotation and Cataclysmic Variables [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 2004 Cataclysmic Variables are binary star systems and so are closely connected to the subject of this meeting. The stars revolve around the center of mass of the system. The gas lost by the secondary through the inner Lagrangian point enters the Roche lobe of the white dwarf with the angular momentum of the L1point and, therefore, forms an accretion disk ...

1RXS J173021.5-055933 : a cataclysmic variable with a fast-spinning magnetic white dwarf [PDF]
, 2008 Aims. We present the first X-ray observations with the XMM-Newton and INTEGRAL satellites of the recently discovered cataclysmic variable 1RXS J173021.5-055933, together with simultaneous UV and coordinated optical photometry aiming at characterising its

MAGNETIC CATACLYSMIC VARIABLES: 25 YEARS OF EXCITING PERFOMANCE
Odessa Astronomical Publications, 2017 Exactly 25 years ago, Santiago Tapia has detected circular and linear polarization of AM Her varying with the same period as the photometric and spectral characteristics. This had lead to a discovery of unprecedentedly exotic binary systems, in which the

Time-resolved photometry and spectroscopy of the new deeply-eclipsing SW Sextantis star HS 0728+6738 [PDF]
, 2004 We present time-resolved optical spectroscopy and photometry, and far-ultraviolet spectroscopy of HS 0728+6738, a cataclysmic variable discovered in the Hamburg Quasar Survey.

Brown dwarfs in retrogradely precessing cataclysmic variables?
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2011 We compare Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamic simulations of retrogradely precessing accretion disks that have a white dwarf primary and a main sequence secondary with observational data and with theory on retrograde precession via tidal torques like those ...
