Accreting White Dwarfs

From exoplanetary probes to classical novae and Type Ia supernovae

Beschreibung

This book describes the accretion process onto white dwarf stars across a broad range of astrophysical settings from the accretion of tidally disrupted bodies in exoplanetary systems to cataclysmic variables, the classical nova explosions, and Type Ia supernova explosions triggered by accretion onto white dwarfs.

Autor

Edward M Sion is Professor in the Department of Astrophysics and Planetary Science at Villanova University and a leading expert in the field. He specializes on the structure and evolution of white dwarf stars and white dwarf stars in explosive binary star systems known as cataclysmic variables. His primary research interests include the formation and evolution of white dwarf stars, the physics and evolution of cataclysmic variable stars, and theoretical studies of accretion physics.
