Long term evolution of an interacting binary system
Giora Shaviv, Irit Idan, Nir J. Shaviv
We describe a new code to simulate the stellar evolution of a close interacting binary system. It is then used to calculate the evolution of a classical nova system composed of a 1…
The Fate of a WD Accreting H-Rich Material at High Rates
Irit Idan, Nir J. Shaviv, Giora Shaviv
We study C/O white dwarfs with masses of 1.0 to 1.4 Msun accreting solar-composition material at very high accretion rates. We address the secular changes in the WDs, and in partic…
Helium White Dwarfs in Cataclysmic Variables
Ken J. Shen, Irit Idan, Lars Bildsten
Binary evolution predicts a population of helium core (M < 0.5 Msol) white dwarfs (WDs) that are slowly accreting hydrogen-rich material from low mass main sequence or brown dwarf…
Accretion-disc model spectra for dwarf-nova stars
Irit Idan, Jean-Pierre Lasota, Jean-Marie Hameury +1
Radiation from accretion discs in cataclysmic variable stars (CVs) provides fundamental information about the properties of these close binary systems and about the physics of accr…
Spectra of accretion discs around white dwarfs
Irit Idan, Jean-Pierre Lasota, Jean-Marie Hameury +1
We present spectra of accretion discs around white-dwarfs calculated with an improved and updated version of the Shaviv & Wehrse (1991) model. The new version includes line opaciti…
Radiation from Dwarf Nova Discs
Irit Idan, Jean-Pierre Lasota, Jean-Marie Hameury +1
We use the Shaviv and Wehrse (1991) code to model the vertical structure and the emission properties of quiescent dwarf nova discs. We find that in the case of HT Cas the quiescent…
