A Mini-Review of Accreting Pulsating White Dwarfs
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021 The discovery in 1998 of a pulsating white dwarf in the cataclysmic variable GW Lib opened up a new avenue of exploration in the asteroseismology of white dwarfs.

Impact of convection and resistivity on angular momentum transport in dwarf novae [PDF]
, 2017 The eruptive cycles of dwarf novae (DN) are thought to be due to a thermal-viscous instability in the accretion disk surrounding the white dwarf (WD). This model has long been known to imply a stress to pressure ratio \alpha ~0.1 in outburst compared to \

A Light-curve Analysis of 32 Recent Galactic Novae: Distances and White Dwarf Masses [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2019 We obtained the absolute magnitudes, distances, and white dwarf (WD) masses of 32 recent galactic novae based on the time-stretching method for nova light curves.

OUTBURSTS OF DWARF NOVAE. [PDF]
Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 1984 A review is given of the observational facts related to the outbursts of dwarf novae and of relevant aspects of the theory of accretion disks. It now appears possible to explain the outbursts of dwarf novae in terms of a nonstationary accretion behavior. Between the outbursts, the material supplied by the secondary component is stored in the relatively

An Empirical Correlation of Tmax–MWD of Dwarf Novae and the Average White Dwarf Mass in Cataclysmic Variables in the Galactic Bulge [PDF]
, 2018 The mean white dwarf (WD) mass in the Galactic bulge cataclysmic variables (CVs) was measured by applying the shock temperature-WD mass correlation of magnetic cataclysmic variables (mCVs) to the Galactic bulge X-ray emission (GBXE) spectra. However, the

Odessa Astronomical Publications, 2007 The WZ Sge type stars is a rare subclass of the cataclysmic variables (CVs). It possesses the properties of both dwarf novae and recurrent novae. The WZ Sge stars have the shortest orbital periods (typically 80 - 90 minutes) known among the dwarf novae ...

Statistical analysis of properties of dwarf novae outbursts [PDF]
, 2016 We present a statistical study of all measurable photometric features of a large sample of dwarf novae during their outbursts and superoutbursts. We used all accessible photometric data for all our objects to make the study as complete and up-to-date as ...

International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1995 AbstractThis report provides a summary of flares observed visually in the dwarf novae V442 Cen, OY Car, TU Men and Z Cha. The flares precede an outburst by an average of around ten days.

A systematic X-ray study of the dwarf novae observed with Suzaku [PDF]
, 2016 X-ray behavior of the dwarf novae (DNe) outside the quiescent state has not been fully understood. We thus assembled 21 data sets of the 15 DNe observed by the Suzaku satellite by the end of 2013, which include spectra taken during not only the ...

Very high-energyγ-ray observations of novae and dwarf novae with the MAGIC telescopes [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2015 Context. In the last five years the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) instrument detected GeV-ray emission from five novae. The GeV emission can be interpreted in terms of an inverse Compton process of electrons accelerated in a shock.
