How Does One Detect An Accretion Disk?
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 07 August 2017
Abstract
The history of the first detection of an accretion disk in a interacting binary system is presented. The nature of transient and permanent disks in Algol-type binaries is discussed as are the problems associated with the interpretation of emission line profiles from the disks in cataclysmic variable stars. The new technique of eclipse mapping from continuum photometry is reviewed. Some results of Doppler tomography of emission lines are presented.
