Quasi-periodic eruptions from galaxy nuclei

A King - Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2022 - academic.oup.com
ABSTRACT I consider quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) from galaxy nuclei. All the known
cases fit naturally into a picture of accretion from white dwarfs (WDs) in highly eccentric …

Ultraluminous X-ray sources in external galaxies

AR King, MB Davies, MJ Ward… - The Astrophysical …, 2001 - iopscience.iop.org
We investigate models for the class of ultraluminous nonnuclear X-ray sources (ie,
ultraluminous compact X-ray sources [ULXs]) seen in a number of galaxies and probably …

Dwarf-nova outbursts

Y Osaki - Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 1996 - iopscience.iop.org
Outburst mechanisms of dwarf novae are discussed. There is a rich variety in outburst
behaviors of nonmagnetic cataclysmic variable stars, starting from nonoutbursting nova-like …

The polars

M Cropper - Space Science Reviews, 1990 - Springer
The class of cataclysmic variables called Polars, or AM Her systems, is comprehensively
reviewed. Each part of these systems, from the two underlying stars, to the accretion region …
