am cvn stars with a white-dwarf donor can
am cvn stars with a white-dwarf donor can be formed when a binary consisting of a white dwarf and a low-mass giant evolve through a common-envelope (ce) phase. the outcome of the ce will be a double white-dwarf binary. through the emission of gravitational radiation, the binary loses angular momentum, which causes the ...

there are three possible types of donor stars
there are three possible types of donor stars in an am cvn variable binary, although the accretor is always a white dwarf. each binary type forms through a different evolutionary path, although all involve initially close main sequence binaries passing through one or more common envelope phases as the stars evolve away...

the accretion disc is usually the main source
the accretion disc is usually the main source of visible radiation. it may be as bright as absolute magnitude 5 in the high state, more typically absolute magnitude 6–8, but 3–5 magnitudes fainter in the low state. the unusual spectra typical of am cvn systems comes from the accretion disc. the disks are formed mostly ...

the donor star can potentially be either a
the donor star can potentially be either a helium (or possibly hybrid) white dwarf, a low-mass helium star, or an evolved main-sequence star. in some cases a donor white dwarf may have a comparable mass to the accretor although it is inevitably somewhat lower even when the system first forms. in most cases, and in part...

the accretor is always a white dwarf, with a mass between about a half and one solar mass (m). typically they have temperatures of 10,000–20,000 k, although in some cases this can be higher. temperatures over 100,000 k have been proposed for some stars (e.g. es ceti), possibly with direct impact accretion without a dis...

stars in the high state, either permanently or
stars in the high state, either permanently or during an outburst, often show brightness variations with a fairly consistent period different from the orbital period. this brightness variation has a larger amplitude than the variation with the orbital period and is known as the superhump.

in the low state, there is no brightness
in the low state, there is no brightness variation but the spectra vary with periods longer than 40 minutes up to around an hour. gp comae berenices is the best-known star of this type. spectra show mainly emission and the state is similar to a permanent minimum of the outbursting stars.
