A persistent bow shock in a diskless magnetised accreting white dwarf
Krystian Ilkiewicz, Simone Scaringi, Domitilla de Martino +9
Stellar bow shocks are formed when an outflow interacts with the interstellar medium. In white dwarfs accreting from a binary companion, outflows are associated with either strong…
Disc Winds From Accreting Systems in the 2040s
Noel Castro Segura, Virginia Cúneo, Francesco Tombesi +9
What does the temporal evolution of disc winds tell us about accreting systems and the accretion process? Studies of accretion-disc outflows across all mass scales, including accre…
The final stages of binary evolution using multi-messenger studies
Thomas Kupfer, Simone Scaringi, Paul Groot +11
Ultracompact Galactic binaries with orbital periods below an hour are among the strongest persistent gravitational-wave (GW) sources in the mHz band and will constitute the dominan…
White Dwarf Binaries: Probes of Future Astrophysics
Anna F. Pala, Roberto Raddi, Alberto Rebassa-Mansergas +25
White dwarf binaries are fundamental astrophysical probes. They represent ideal laboratories to test the models of binary evolution, which also apply to the sources of gravitationa…
How Mass Flows Through Accretion Discs: A Spectral-Timing Vision for the 2040s
Simone Scaringi, Domitilla de Martino, Anna F. Pala +17
Understanding how mass and angular momentum flow through accretion discs remains a fundamental unsolved problem in astrophysics. Accreting white dwarfs offer an ideal laboratory fo…
21 years of Astronomy at Warwick: celebrating the legacy of Prof. Tom Marsh
Ingrid Pelisoli, Boris Gänsicke, Keith Horne +7
Between the 4th and 6th of September 2024, the Astronomy & Astrophysics group at the University of Warwick held a meeting to celebrate 21 years of astronomy at Warwick and the scie…
