The Winds of Cataclysmic Variables

Mauche, Christopher W. · Raymond, John C.

Original · EN

We present an observational and theoretical review of the winds of cataclysmic variables (CVs). Specifically, we consider the related problems of the geometry, ionization state, and mass-loss rate of the winds of CVs. We present evidence of wind variability and discuss the results of studies of eclipsing CVs. Finally, we consider the properties of accretion disk wind and magnetic wind models. Some of these models predict substantial angular momentum loss, which could affect both disk structure and binary evolution.
