PDF-(BOOS)-Cataclysmic Variable Stars (Cambridge Astrophysics, Series Number 28)

The study of cataclysmic variables interacting binary stars containing a white dwarf accreting from an orbiting companion is undergoing an exciting renaissance as it embraces observations at all wavelengths Cataclysmic variables allow in particular the direct and detailed study of equilibrium and nonequilibrium accretion discs in turn these developments also help in our understanding of Xray binaries black holes and active galactic nuclei This timely volume provides the first comprehensive survey of cataclysmic variable stars integrating theory and observation into a single synthesised text An introductory chapter gives the historical background of studies of cataclysmic variables The author then goes on to give an uptodate review of both the observations at all wavelengths and over all timescales the theories the models of the structures and accretion processes believed to be involved A very detailed bibliography is also provided to guide the reader to pertinent primary literature. KTaylorwarwickacuk Abstract The Sloan Digital Sky Survey has identi64257ed a total of 212 cataclysmic variables most of which are fainter than 18th magnitude This is the deepest and most populous homogeneous sample of cataclysmic variables to date an Chapter 0, Introduction.

Cataclysmic Variable stars are binary star pairs consisting of a white dwarf and red giant star (usually)..
