Abstract

We present a formulation for irradiation-driven mass transfer in cataclysmic variables, which allows for feed-back due to radiation from an accretion-heated white dwarf. The resulting model predicts the likely mass transfer rates for CVs at different orbital periods.KeywordsOrbital PeriodMass Transfer RateWhite DwarfBlack Body RadiationIrradiation HeatingThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
