Localised thermonuclear bursts from accreting magnetic white dwarfs
S. Scaringi, P. J. Groot, C. Knigge +16
Nova explosions are caused by global thermonuclear runaways triggered in the surface layers of accreting white dwarfs. It has been predicted that localised thermonuclear bursts on…
Optical Variability Correlated with X-ray Spectral Transition in the Black-Hole Transient ASASSN-18ey = MAXI J1820+070
Keito Niijima, Mariko Kimura, Yasuyuki Wakamatsu +49
How a black hole accretes matter and how this process is regulated are fundamental but unsolved questions in astrophysics. In transient black-hole binaries, a lot of mass stored in…
Magnetospheric interaction in white dwarf binaries AR Sco and AE Aqr
Maxim Lyutikov, Maxim Barkov, Matthew Route +3
We develop a model of the white dwarf (WD) - red dwarf (RD) binaries AR Sco and AE Aqr as systems in a transient propeller stage of highly asynchronous intermediate polars. The WDs…
The Eclipsing Accreting White Dwarf Z Chameleontis as Seen with TESS
J. M. C. Court, S. Scaringi, S. Rappaport +8
We present results from a study of TESS observations of the eclipsing dwarf nova system Z Cha, covering both an outburst and a superoutburst. We discover that Z Cha undergoes hyste…
Hard-state accretion disk winds from black holes: the revealing case of MAXI J1820+070
T. Muñoz-Darias, F. Jiménez-Ibarra, G. Panizo-Espinar +16
We report on a detailed optical spectroscopic follow-up of the black hole transient MAXI J1820+070 (ASASSN-18ey). The observations cover the main part of the X-ray binary outburst,…
Repetitive Patterns in Rapid Optical Variations in the Nearby Black-hole Binary V404 Cygni
Mariko Kimura, Keisuke Isogai, Taichi Kato +65
How black holes accrete surrounding matter is a fundamental, yet unsolved question in astrophysics. It is generally believed that matter is absorbed into black holes via accretion…
