Accretion Phenomena in Cataclysmic Variables
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 April 2016
Abstract
The processes of accretion onto the white dwarf in a cataclysmic variable are reviewed. These systems provide the most easily observable examples of accretion disks, and enable the structure of the accretion region to be studied in detail. The properties of column accretion onto magnetic cataclysmic variables are also described.
