The disk vanishes

Jean-Marie Hameury, Jean-Pierre Lasota

Recently published observations of VY Scl stars in their low, long-intermediate and high states confirm our model (Hameury & Lasota 2002) according to which accretion disks in such…

Disc radius variations in binaries

Jean-Marie Hameury, Jean-Pierre Lasota

A thermal/viscous instability of the accretion disc arising when hydrogen is partially ionized is the most popular explanation of the outbursts of both dwarf novae (DN) and soft X-…

Predictions of the disc instability model

M. R. Schreiber, J. -M. Hameury, J. -P. Lasota

Confronting the predictions of numerical calculations with observations is an important tool to progress with our understanding of the mechanism triggering the outbursts of dwarf n…

Why there are no jets from cataclysmic variable stars

Jean-Pierre Lasota, Noam Soker

We argue that the recent thermal model of jet launching by young stellar objects, when applied to system containing disk-accreting white dwarfs naturally explain the otherwise asto…

The implications of disc instabilities on cataclysmic variable structure and evolution

J. -P. Lasota

Applications of the thermal-viscous disc instability model to various classes of cataclysmic variable very often require the accretion disc to be truncated. I argue that in most ca…

Physics near a black-hole horizon

Jean-Pierre Lasota

I discuss several general-relativistic effects that are likely to be of interest in the astrophysics of black holes and neutron stars
