Models of Soft X-Ray Transients and Dwarf Novae

Astrophysics 2016-01-27 v1

Abstract

Models of Soft X--ray Transients are presented and compared with observations. The importance of inner advection--dominated flows in quiescent transient sources is discussed, as well as the problem of global stability of the standard outer accretion disc. A comparison is made with similar problems in dwarf nova models.
