Accreting white dwarf binaries are interacting binary systems in which a white dwarf gains material from a companion star through mass transfer. Depending on the nature of the donor star and the rate of mass transfer, these systems can manifest in various forms, such as cataclysmic variables or symbiotic stars. They serve as valuable laboratories for studying fundamental astrophysical processes, including accretion, mass loss, and binary evolution. These systems are also linked to high-energy phenomena, such as nova eruptions, and are considered important progenitor candidates for type Ia supernovae and potential sources of gravitational waves.
The research will investigate the physical processes involved in mass transfer and angular momentum exchange between the binary components. Particular emphasis will be placed on the formation and evolution of accretion discs and their potential tilts and instabilities, as well as large-scale outflow structures such as jets, bow shocks, and nova shells. These features may serve as key tracers of how angular momentum is redistributed or expelled from the system.
The project is based on a collection of spectroscopic and photometric observations of a large sample of objects. The research will combine observational analysis with theoretical modeling, tailored to the specific interests of the PhD candidate. Possible directions include investigating how disc morphology influences angular momentum dynamics, identifying the mechanisms behind outflows, or assessing how these systems evolve over time and affect their environments.
The expected outcome is a deeper understanding of accretion physics and the long-term evolution of interacting binary systems. The findings may also address unresolved issues in binary population models and contribute to broader astrophysical questions, such as galactic feedback and the life cycle of compact stellar systems.
