The disc instability model which is supposed to describe outbursts of dwarf nova and low-
mass X-ray binary transient systems is presented and reviewed in detail. Various …

We review the properties of the DQ Herculis stars: cataclysmic variables containing an
accreting, magnetic, rapidly rotating white dwarf. These stars are characterized by strong X …

We study the structure of a corona above a dwarf nova accretion disk. The interaction
between the cool disk and the hot corona is investigated with a one-zone model. The result …

Current treatments of accretion flows in magnetic cataclysmic variables (CVs) imply that the
criterion for disc formation depends only on the accretion rate and the magnetic field …

We have detected 300 X-ray sources within the half-mass radius (2 farcm 79) of the globular
cluster 47 Tucanae in a deep (281 ks) Chandra exposure. We perform photometry and …

Abstract 91 cataclysmic variables from a sample of 162 systems with known or suspected
binary periods were detected during the ROSAT XRT-PSPC All Sky Survey. Among the non …

We present the complete set of 34 ASCA observations of non-magnetic cataclysmic
variables. Timing analysis reveals large X-ray flux variations in dwarf novae in outburst (Z …

We present a spectroscopic study of the unusual—aring activity of the cataclysmic variable
AE Aqr, which makes use of time-resolved, ultraviolet spectra obtained with the Hubble …

We present new observations of the field centered on X-ray source 1E 1547.0-5408.
Analysis of a new Chandra observation shows that it is unresolved at arcsecond resolution …

The observed relation between the X-ray and radio properties of low-luminosity accreting
black holes (BHs) has enabled the identification of multiple candidate black hole X-ray …
