Accretion disc instabilities in cataclysmic variable stars
A 1D hydrodynamical code is used to model the viscous evolution of VY Scl stars, which are a subclass of Cataclysmic Variable. Low states arise as a result of occasional drops in the mass transfer rate, which probably result from the passage of starspots across the inner Lagrangian point on the seco...
