Comprehensive simulations of superhumps

Amanda J. Smith, Carole A. Haswell, James R. Murray +2

(Abridged) We use 3D SPH calculations with higher resolution, as well as with more realistic viscosity and sound-speed prescriptions than previous work to examine the eccentric ins…

Accretion disc dynamics in extreme mass ratio compact binaries

Michael Truss

An analysis is presented of a numerical investigation of the dynamics and geometry of accretion discs in binary systems with mass ratios q < 0.1, applicable to ultra-compact X-ray…

The decline and fall of GRS 1915+105: the end is nigh?

Michael Truss, Chris Done

The galactic microquasar GRS 1915+105 has been in a continuous state of outburst since 1992, over 20 times longer than any other black hole X-ray transient. Assuming that the outbu…

Modeling the Photopolarimetric Variability of AA Tau

Mark O'Sullivan, Michael Truss, Christina Walker +4

We present Monte Carlo scattered light models of a warped disk that reproduce the observed photopolarimetric variability of the classical T Tauri star AA Tau. For a system inclinat…

Mass transfer in tidally unstable compact binaries

Michael Truss

The 2001 outburst of WZ Sagittae has shown the most compelling evidence yet for an enhancement of the mass transfer rate from the donor star during a dwarf nova outburst in the for…

The steady-state structure of accretion discs in central magnetic fields

O. M. Matthews, R. Speith, M. R. Truss +1

We develop a new analytic solution for the steady-state structure of a thin accretion disc under the influence of a magnetic field that is anchored to the central star. The solutio…
