Mass transfer in tidally unstable compact binaries
The 2001 outburst of WZ Sagittae has shown the most compelling evidence yet for an enhancement of the mass transfer rate from the donor star during a dwarf nova outburst in the form of hot-spot brightening. I show that even in this extreme case, the brightening can be attributed to tidal heating near the interaction point of an accretion stream with the expanding edge of an eccentric accretion ...
متن کاملIrradiation and mass transfer in low-mass compact binaries
This paper studies the reaction of low-mass stars to anisotropic irradiation and its implications for the long-term evolution of compact binaries (cataclysmic variables and lowmass X-ray binaries). First, we show by means of simple homology considerations that if the energy outflow through the surface layers of a lowmass main sequence star is blocked over a fraction seff < 1 of its surface (e.g...
متن کاملPhotometric Solutions for Semi-Detached Eclipsing Binaries: Selection of Distance Indicators in the Small Magellanic Cloud
Estimation of distances to nearby galaxies by the use of eclipsing binaries as standard candles has recently become feasible because of new large scale instruments and the discovery of thousands of eclipsing binaries as spinoff from Galactic microlensing surveys. Published measurements of distances to detached eclipsing binaries in the Large Magellanic Cloud combine stellar surface areas (in ab...
متن کاملThe Possible Nature of Dips in the Light Curves of Semi-Detached Binaries with Stationary Disks
A thickening at the outer edge of the accretion disk is usually invoked to explain the dips in the light curves of cataclysmic variables with stationary disks at phases ∼ 0.7. The non-collisional interaction between the stream and the disk in the stationary solution raises the question of why matter appears at a considerable height above the accretion disk in such systems. Our three-dimensional...
متن کاملSix detached white - dwarf close binaries ⋆
We determine the orbits of four double degenerate systems (DDs), composed of two white dwarfs, and of two white dwarf – M dwarf binaries. The four DDs, WD1022+050, WD1428+373, WD1824+040, and WD2032+188, show orbital periods of 1.157155(5) d, 1.15674(2) d, 6.26602(6) d and 5.0846(3) d respectively. These periods combined with estimates for the masses of the brighter component, based on their ef...
