Magnetically gated accretion in an accreting ‘non-magnetic’ white dwarf (2017)
Journal Article
Scaringi, S., Maccarone, T., D’Angelo, C., Knigge, C., & Groot, P. (2017). Magnetically gated accretion in an accreting ‘non-magnetic’ white dwarf. Nature, 552(7684), 210-213. https://doi.org/10.1038/nature24653

White dwarfs are often found in binary systems with orbital periods ranging from tens of minutes to hours in which they can accrete gas from their companion stars. In about 15 per cent of these binaries, the magnetic field of the white dwarf is stron... Read More about Magnetically gated accretion in an accreting ‘non-magnetic’ white dwarf.
