Enhanced mass transfer during dwarf nova outbursts by irradiation of the secondary? | | Yoji Osaki

25 Oct 2004 | | Subject: | astro-ph | | Affiliation: | University of Tokyo), Friedrich Meyer (Max-Planck-Institut f. Astrophysik, Garching | | Abstract: | One of the remaining issues in the problems of dwarf novae is whether or not enhanced mass transfer due to irradiation of the secondary stars could occur during outbursts. In a previous paper (Osaki and Meyer 2003), we presented a theoretical analysis that shows no appreciable enhancement of the mass outflow rate. This conclusion is challenged by Smak (2004) who claims that equations used in our analysis were incorrect and that in systems with short orbital periods substantial enhancement could occur. In this letter, we examine the origin of such divergent conclusions. We show that Smak’s solutions are unacceptable from the standpoint of the equation of continuity and that our analysis is an appropriate one to treat this problem. | | Source: | arXiv, astro-ph/0410585 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
