Enhanced mass transfer during dwarf nova outbursts by irradiation of the secondary?
Yoji Osaki, Friedrich Meyer
One of the remaining issues in the problems of dwarf novae is whether or not enhanced mass transfer due to irradiation of the secondary stars could occur during outbursts. In a pre…
Helical Tomography of an Accretion Disk by Superhump Light Curves of the 2001 Outburst of WZ Sagittae
Y. Osaki
A new method for analyzing complex superhump light curves for the 2001 outburst of WZ Sagittae is proposed. The complexity arises because intrinsically time-varying and non-axisymm…
Is evidence for enhanced mass transfer during dwarf-nova outbursts well substantiated?
Yoji Osaki, Friedrich Meyer
Outburst mechanisms of SU UMa-type dwarf novae are discussed. Two competing models were proposed; a pure disk instability model called the thermal-tidal instability model (TTI mode…
Early humps in WZ Sge stars
Yoji Osaki, Friedrich Meyer
Photometric humps in outburst that are locked with the binary orbital period have been observed exclusively in the early phase of outbursts of WZ Sge stars. It is suggested that th…
Repetitive rebrightening of EG Cancri: evidence for viscosity decay in the quiescent disk?
Yoji Osaki, Friedrich Meyer, Emmi Meyer-Hofmeister
A WZ Sge-type dwarf nova, EG Cancri, exhibited six consecutive mini-outbursts with a mean interval of about seven days after the end of the main outburst in 1996/1997. Most unusual…
