Suggested magnetic braking prescription derived from field complexity fails to reproduce the cataclysmic variable orbital period gap

V Ortúzar-Garzón, MR Schreiber, D Belloni - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2024 - aanda.org
Context. Magnetic wind braking drives the spin-down of low-mass stars and the evolution of
most interacting binary stars. A magnetic braking prescription that was claimed to reproduce …

Searching for new cataclysmic variables in the Chandra Source Catalog

I Galiullin, AC Rodriguez, K El-Badry, P Szkody… - Astronomy & …, 2024 - aanda.org
Aims. Cataclysmic variables (CVs) are compact binary systems in which a white dwarf
accretes matter from a Roche-lobe-filling companion star. For this study we searched for …
