Possible Role of the White Dwarf in Grain Formation in Cataclysmic Variable Systems
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
We consider the possibility that carbon, in the form of the allotrope carbyne, might form in the atmosphere of the white dwarf in a cataclysmic variable system, and be expelled from the system by radiation pressure. It seems that, under some circumstances, cataclysmic variable systems may indeed have carbon dust in their vicinity.
