Long term evolution of an interacting binary system
Giora Shaviv, Irit Idan, Nir J. Shaviv
We describe a new code to simulate the stellar evolution of a close interacting binary system. It is then used to calculate the evolution of a classical nova system composed of a 1…
The Fate of a WD Accreting H-Rich Material at High Rates
Irit Idan, Nir J. Shaviv, Giora Shaviv
We study C/O white dwarfs with masses of 1.0 to 1.4 Msun accreting solar-composition material at very high accretion rates. We address the secular changes in the WDs, and in partic…
The Maximal Runaway Temperature of Earth-like Planets
Nir J. Shaviv, Giora Shaviv, Rainer Wehrse
We generalize the problem of the semi-gray model to cases in which a non-negligible fraction of the stellar radiation falls on the long-wavelength range, and/or that the planetary…
Did Edwin Hubble plagiarize?
Giora Shaviv
Recently Block published an astro-ph{http://arxiv.org/abs/1106.3928 (2011).} insinuating that Lemaitre discovery paper of the Expanding Universe was censored prior to its translati…
Accretion-disc model spectra for dwarf-nova stars
Irit Idan, Jean-Pierre Lasota, Jean-Marie Hameury +1
Radiation from accretion discs in cataclysmic variable stars (CVs) provides fundamental information about the properties of these close binary systems and about the physics of accr…
Spectra of accretion discs around white dwarfs
Irit Idan, Jean-Pierre Lasota, Jean-Marie Hameury +1
We present spectra of accretion discs around white-dwarfs calculated with an improved and updated version of the Shaviv & Wehrse (1991) model. The new version includes line opaciti…
