{"product_id":"cataclysmic-variable-stars-brian-warner-9780521542098","title":"Cataclysmic Variable Stars","description":"The study of cataclysmic variables - interacting binary stars containing a white dwarf accreting from an orbiting companion - is undergoing an exciting renaissance, as it embraces observations at all wavelengths. Cataclysmic variables allow, in particular, the direct and detailed study of equilibrium and non-equilibrium accretion discs; in turn these developments also help in our understanding of X-ray binaries, black holes and active galactic nuclei. This timely volume provides the first comprehensive survey of cataclysmic variable stars, integrating theory and observation into a single, synthesised text. An introductory chapter gives the historical background of studies of cataclysmic variables. The author then goes on to give an up-to-date review of both the observations (at all wavelengths, and over all time-scales), the theories, the models of the structures and accretion processes believed to be involved. A very detailed bibliography is also provided to guide the reader to pertinent primary literature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brian Warner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 052154209X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521542098\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/18\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 596\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.60h x 7.46w x 1.33d","brand":"Brian Warner","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44119812997375,"sku":"9780521542098","price":131.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0b164186-9a61-4d5d-a292-0383d0cde9f5.jpg?v=1687411068","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cataclysmic-variable-stars-brian-warner-9780521542098","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
