Circumbinary disks and cataclysmic variable evolution
arXiv:astro-ph/0010194 · doi:10.1086/319030
Abstract
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 -- of the mass transfer rate to the CB disk. The torque exerted by the CB disk provides a positive feedback between mass transfer rate and CB disk mass which can lead to mass transfer rates of $\sim 10^{-8} -10^{-7} \mpy$. This mechanism may be responsible for causing the range of variation of mass transfer rates in CV's. In particular, it may explain rates inferred for the novalike variables and the supersoft X-ray binary systems observed near the upper edge of the period gap ( hr), as well as the spread in mass transfer rates above and below the period gap. Consquences and the possible observability of such disks are discussed.
