Helium Core White Dwarfs in Cataclysmic Variables
Binary evolution predicts a population of helium core (M < 0.5 M⊙) white dwarfs (WDs) that are slowly accreting hydrogen-rich material from low mass main sequence or brown dwarf donors with orbital periods less than four hours. Four binaries are presently known in the Milky Way that will reach such a mass-transferring state in a few Gyr. Despite these predictions and observations of progenitor ...
متن کاملAccretion in Cataclysmic Variable Stars
We consider accretion onto the white dwarfs in cataclysmic variables in relation to nova eruptions, dwarf nova outbursts, hibernation and non-radial oscillations.
متن کاملDust in white dwarfs and cataclysmic variables ( An observational perspective )
Recent infrared observations, particularly from the Spitzer Space Telescope, of white dwarfs, cataclysmic variables and other interacting compact binaries, have revealed the presence of dust in many systems. I review the discovery, properties, and implications of dust around white dwarfs and cataclysmic variables.
متن کاملBrown Dwarfs and the Cataclysmic Variable Period Minimum 3
Using improved, up–to–date stellar input physics tested against observations of low– mass stars and brown dwarfs we calculate the secular evolution of low–mass donor cat-aclysmic variables (CVs), including those which form with a brown dwarf donor. Our models confirm the mismatch between the calculated minimum period (P min ≃ 70 min) and the observed short–period cut–off (≃ 80 min) in the CV pe...
متن کامل0 Circumbinary Disks and Cataclysmic Variable Evolution
The influence of a circumbinary (CB) disk on the evolution of cataclysmic variable (CV) binary systems is investigated. We show that CB mass surface densities sufficient to influence the evolution rate are plausibly provided by the outflows observed in CVs, if the net effect of these winds is to deliver 10−4–10−3 of the mass transfer rate to the CB disk. The torque exerted by the CB disk provid...
