The mass and angular momentum loss from the edge of the accretion disc and the evolution of cataclysmic binaries.

Yu, K. N.; Huang, Runqian

The IUE observations of high excitation P Cygni profiles provide evidence that there is mass outflow in the cataclysmic variables with speed of ≡5000 km/s which can not be driven by the late-type secondary stars. The authors proposed here that these outflows are originated from the outer edge of the accretion disc and give a model for calculation …
