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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51943765180704,"sku":"NEW052154209X","price":166.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/cataclysmic-variable-stars-cambridge-astrophysics-series-number-28-052154209x","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
