The study of white dwarf stars has greatly expanded in recent years, and this book presents, from first principles, the physics of the accretion process onto white dwarfs. Among the resulting phenomena are isolated white dwarfs accreting interstellar gas and dust as they orbit the galactic center, white dwarfs accreting from the debris disks of tidally disrupted asteroids, comets and exoplanets in other exoplanetary systems, white dwarfs accreting from red giant winds in symbiotic variable stars, white dwarfs accreting from Roche lobe-detached main sequence stars, white dwarfs accreting in cataclysmic variables, helium accreting white dwarfs in the ultra-compact AM CVn binaries, accreting white dwarf explosions in classical novae and Type Ia supernovae, the cosmologically critical white dwarf supernovae that led to the discovery of the accelerating expansion of the universe and the existence of dark energy. This book is intended for advanced undergraduates, graduate students, astrophysicists who specialize in white dwarf studies as well as non-specialist scientists.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Features: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eDescribes the accretion process onto white dwarf stars across a broad range of astrophysical settings\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eProvides an up-to-date reference for both students and researchers in astrophysics in a rapidly evolving field\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eIncludes the basic physics of non-accreting white dwarfs and the physical processes that occur\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eAuthor is a well-known expert on white dwarf stars\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eContains helpful appendices tabulating the fundamental parameters of accreting white dwarfs\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 260\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.55 x 10 x 7 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 28, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67604057620754,"sku":"9780750320436","price":48.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/2211\/5346\/files\/2KMCJVqjtP9780750320436.webp?v=1791381152","url":"https:\/\/ckbookstore.net\/products\/accreting-white-dwarfs-from-exoplanetary-probes-to-classical-novae-and-type-ia-supernovae-paperback","provider":"CK BOOKSTORE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
