Accretion Disc Phenomena in Extreme Mass Ratio Cataclysmic Variables
We study a variety of accretion phenomena under the umbrella of extreme mass ratio cataclysmic variables (CVs), employing both observation and numerical simulation. A primary focus is the superhump phenomenon and the underlying eccentric instability and accretion disc precession. We make a detailed...
