Constraining the Evolution of Cataclysmic Variables via the Masses and Accretion Rates of their Underlying White Dwarfs
A. F. Pala, B. T. Gänsicke, D. Belloni +28
We report on the masses (), effective temperatures () and secular mean accretion rates () of 43 cataclysmic variable (CV) wh…
Breaking the degeneracy in magnetic cataclysmic variable X-ray spectral modeling using X-ray light curves
Diogo Belloni, Claudia V. Rodrigues, Matthias R. Schreiber +12
We present an analysis of mock X-ray spectra and light curves of magnetic cataclysmic variables using an upgraded version of the 3D CYCLOPS code. This 3D representation of the accr…
Magnetic dynamos in white dwarfs -- II. Relating magnetism and pollution
Matthias R. Schreiber, Diogo Belloni, Boris T. Gaensicke +1
We investigate whether the recently suggested rotation and crystallization driven dynamo can explain the apparent increase of magnetism in old metal polluted white dwarfs. We find…
Magnetic dynamos in white dwarfs -- I. Explaining the dearth of bright intermediate polars in globular clusters
Diogo Belloni, Matthias R. Schreiber, Maurizio Salaris +2
Recently, Bahramian et al. investigated a large sample of globular clusters (GCs) and found that bright intermediate polars (IPs) are a factor of 10 less frequent in GCs than in th…
Preparing the next gravitational million-body simulations: Evolution of single and binary stars in Nbody6++GPU, MOCCA and McLuster
A. W. H. Kamlah, A. Leveque, R. Spurzem +9
We present the implementation of updated stellar evolution recipes in the codes \texttt{Nbody6++GPU, MOCCA} and \texttt{McLuster}. We test them through numerical simulations of sta…
The origin and evolution of magnetic white dwarfs in close binary stars
Matthias R. Schreiber, Diogo Belloni, Boris T. Gaensicke +2
The origin of magnetic fields in white dwarfs remains a fundamental unresolved problem in stellar astrophysics. In particular, the very different fractions of strongly (exceeding 1…
