Propeller-activated resonances and the fate of short-period cataclysmic variables
(2006)
Journal Article
We show that the combination of a weak magnetic propeller and accretion disc resonances can effectively halt accretion in short-period cataclysmic variables (CVs) for large fractions of their lifetimes. This may help to explain the discrepancy betwee... Read More about Propeller-activated resonances and the fate of short-period cataclysmic variables.
