The implications of disc instabilities on cataclysmic variable structure and evolution
Abstract
Description
Applications of the thermal-viscous disc instability model to various classes of cataclysmic variable very often require the accretion disc to be truncated. I argue that in most cases this inner truncation must be due to the white dwarf's magnetic field.
