We show that the disc instability model can reproduce all the observed properties of Z Cam stars if the energy equation includes heating of the outer disc by the mass-transfer stream impact and by tidal torques and if the mass-transfer rate…

I review several problems which arise when one tries to apply the standard dwarf nova instability model to outbursts of soft X-ray transients.

Confronting the predictions of numerical calculations with observations is an important tool to progress with our understanding of the mechanism triggering the outbursts of dwarf novae and soft X-ray transients. Simultaneous…

Dwarf novae are white dwarfs accreting matter from a nearby red dwarf companion. Their regular outbursts are explained by a thermal-viscous instability in the accretion disc, described by the disc instability model that has since been…

We show that if the inner regions of accretion discs in quiescent dwarf nova systems are removed by magnetic disruption or evaporated by siphon flows, the remaining disc is globally stable for mass transfer rates $\lta 10^{15}$ g s$^{-1}$.…

We present simulations of dwarf nova outbursts taking into account realistic variations of the mass loss rate from the secondary. The mass transfer variation has been derived from 20 years of visual monitoring and from X-ray observations…

In our earlier Paper I we showed that the accretion disc radius of the dwarf nova HT Cas in its quiescent state has not changed significantly during many years of observations. It has remained consistently large, close to the tidal…

We add the $\alpha-$ effect in the dynamo driven accretion disk model proposed by Tout & Pringle (1992), i.e., a dynamo model depends on the physical processes such as Parker instability, Balbus-Hawley instability, magnetic field…

FO Aquarii, an asynchronous magnetic cataclysmic variable (intermediate polar) went into a low-state in 2016, from which it slowly and steadily recovered without showing dwarf nova outbursts. This requires explanation since in a low-state,…

We propose that the strength of angular momentum transport in accretion discs threaded by net vertical magnetic field is determined by a self-regulation mechanism: the magnetorotational instability (MRI) grows until its own turbulent…

A method, based on the disc instability model, for testing the thermal stability of Cataclysmic Variables (CVs), is presented. It is shown that the border line between thermal stability and instability is crossed during some nova outbursts…

Using numerical MHD simulations, we have studied the evolution of the magnetorotational instability in stratified accretion disks in which the ionization fraction (and therefore resistivity) varies substantially with height. This model is…
