Periodicities and disks in dwarf novae

The outbursts of dwarf novae are suggested as being due to the liberation of energy in the accretion disk surrounding the white dwarf component following unstable mass outflow by the red companion. The periodicities observed in dwarf novae near maximum light are shown to be consistent with periodic eclipses of temperature fluctuations in the innermost region of the disk. (auth)
