AbstractWe examine the two-dimensional structure of m = 1 modes in disks around white dwarfs in close binary systems. We find that the odd modes (warping modes) as well as even modes (eccentric modes) are confined to the outermost part of the disk. The period of the fundamental mode is of a few percent of the binary period, and is insensitive to the parity of the mode. These modes naturally explain the superhump periods of SU UMa stars.

AbstractA numerical method for 3D magnetohydrodynamical investigations of accretion disks in close binary systems is presented, which allows for good spatial resolution of structures (hot spot, accretion column). The gas is treated as individual gas cells (pseudo-particles) whose motion is calculated within a grid consisting of one spherical inner part for 3D MHD and two plane outer parts. Viscous interactions of the gas cells are taken into account by a special treatment connected with the grid geometry.We present one result of 2D hydrodynamical calculations for a binary applying the following parameters which are representative for Cataclysmic Variables: M1 = 1 Mʘ, r1 = 10-2 Rʘ, M2 = 0.5 Mʘ, p = 0.2 d, M = 10-9 Mʘ y-1.Column density and radiative flux distributions over the disk are shown and briefly discussed by comparison with the theoretical understanding of these Dwarf Novae drawn from observations.

It is necessary to have quantitative estimates of the intensity of lines (both absorption and emission) to obtain the physical parameters of the atmosphere of components.Some years ago at the Crimean observatory we began the spectroscopic investigation of close binary systems of the early spectral type with components WR, Of, O, B to try and obtain more quantitative information from the study of the spectra of the components.

Propagation of the surface waves of the lobe-filing components of close binary systems is investigated theoretically. Such waves are considered to be analogous to the gravity waves of water on the earth. As a result, the equations of the surface wave in the rotating frame of reference are reduced to the so-called Kortewegde Vries (KdV) equation and non-linear Schroedinger (NLS) equation according to its ”depth”. Each of these equations is known to have the solution of soliton. When this soliton is sent to the other component of the binary system through the Lagrangian point, it can give rise to the flare activity observed in some kinds of close binary systems.
