FUSE Observations of Active Binaries
C. S. Froning
Abstract
FUSE observations have been instrumental in advancing our understanding of the physical properties and behavior of active binary systems, including cataclysmic variables (CVs) and X-ray binaries (XRBs). FUSE data have allowed observers to study: accretion disks, magnetically-channeled accretion flow, and white dwarf accretors, and how these respond to accretion fluctuations and disk outbursts; the role of binary evolution in determining system properties; the vertical and azimuthal structure in disks and disk winds; and what the variations in active binary properties reveal about accretion physics in compact systems. Results of FUSE observations of active binaries are reviewed here.
