Nova-produced Common Envelope: Source of the Non-solar Abundances and an Additional Frictional Angular Momentum Loss in Cataclysmic Variables
Warren M. Sparks, Edward M. Sion
A substantial fraction of Cataclysmic Variables (CVs) reveals non-solar abundances. A comprehensive list of CVs which includes those that have been examined for these abundances is…
On the Effect of Explosive Thermonuclear Burning on the Accreted Envelopes of White Dwarfs in Cataclysmic Variables
Edward M. Sion
The detection of heavy elements at suprasolar abundances in the atmospheres of some accreting white dwarfs in cataclysmic variables, coupled with the high temperatures needed to pr…
Hydrodynamic Studies of the Evolution of Recurrent, Symbiotic, and Dwarf Novae: The White Dwarf Components are Growing in Mass
S. Starrfield, F. X. Timmes, C. Iliadis +4
Symbiotic binaries are systems containing white dwarfs (WDs) and red giants. Symbiotic novae are those systems in which thermonuclear eruptions occur on the WD components. These ar…
Theoretical Studies of Accretion of Matter onto White Dwarfs and the Single Degenerate Scenario for Supernovae of Type Ia
S. Starrfield, C. Iliadis, F. X. Timmes +4
We present a brief summary of the Single Degenerate Scenario for the progenitors of Type Ia Supernovae in which it is assumed that a low mass carbon-oxygen white dwarf is growing i…
The Effects of the pep Nuclear Reaction and Other Improvements in the Nuclear Reaction Rate Library on Simulations of the Classical Nova Outburst
S. Starrfield, C. Iliadis, W. R. Hix +2
We have continued our studies of the Classical Nova outburst by evolving TNRs on 1.25Msun and 1.35Msun WDs (ONeMg composition) under conditions which produce mass ejection and a ra…
The Effects of Changes in Reaction Rates on Simulations of Nova Explosions
S. Starrfield, C. Iliadis, W. R. Hix +2
Classical novae participate in the cycle of Galactic chemical evolution in which grains and metal enriched gas in their ejecta, supplementing those of supernovae, AGB stars, and Wo…
