The supersoft X-ray binary RX J0513.9-6951 shows cyclic changes between optical-low / X-ray-on states and optical-high / X-ray-off states. It is supposed to be accreting close to the Eddington-critical limit and driven by "accretion wind…

A new self-sustained model for long-term light curve variations of RX J0513.9-6951 is proposed based on an optically thick wind model of mass-accreting white dwarfs (WDs). When the mass accretion rate to a WD exceeds the critical rate of…

I review various phenomena associated with mass-accreting white dwarfs (WDs) in the view of supersoft X-ray sources. When the mass-accretion rate is low (\dot M_{acc} < a few \times 10^{-7} M_\sun yr^{-1}), hydrogen nuclear burning is…

It has been recently demonstrated that the recurring high/low states in the peculiar binary V Sge can be explained by considering the limit-cycle oscillation involving negative feedback by the wind on the mass-transfer from the secondary…

We run hydrodynamic simulations which follow the colliding winds structure of the massive binary system HD 166734 along its binary orbit, and show that close to periastron passage the secondary wind is suppressed and the secondary accretes…

I review various phenomena associated with mass-accreting white dwarfs (WDs) in relation to progenitors of type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia). The WD mass can be estimated from light curve analysis in multiwavelength bands based on the optically…

Supersoft X-ray sources (SSSs) are known as possible progenitors of Type Ia supernovae. The quasi-periodic variability has been detected in the optical light curves of SSSs. However, the exact origin of such quasi-periodic observable…

We present a suite of dynamical simulations designed to explore the orbital and accretion properties of compact (2$-$7 AU) symbiotic systems, focusing on wind accretion, drag forces, and tidal interactions. Using three levels of physical…

An unexpectedly slow evolution in the pre-optical-maximum phase was suggested in the very short recurrence period nova M31N 2008-12a. To obtain reasonable nova light curves we have improved our calculation method by consistently combining…

Mass transfer from an evolved donor star to its binary companion is a standard feature of stellar evolution in binaries. In wide binaries, the companion star captures some of the mass ejected in a wind by the primary star. The captured…

We model the evolution of the accretion disk of WZ Sagittae during the long quiescence. We find that the large amount of mass in the disk derived from the outburst luminosity is a severe constraint and demands values of $\alpha_c$ $\approx$…

We have been proposing two evolutionary paths to Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), which are called the supersoft X-ray source (SSS) channel and the symbiotic channel, depending on the orbital separation just prior to an SN Ia explosion. The…

Novae are cataclysmic variable binary systems in which a white dwarf primary is accreting material from a low mass companion. The importance of this accretion takes on added significance if the WD can increase its mass to reach the…

RS Ophiuchi is a recurrent nova with a period of about 22 years, consisting of a wind accreting binary system with a white dwarf (WD) very close to the Chandrasekhar limit and a red giant star (RG). The system is considered a prime…

Context: Luminosities of hot components in symbiotic binaries require accretion rates that are higher than those that can be achieved via a standard Bondi-Hoyle accretion. This implies that the wind mass transfer in symbiotic binaries has…

A theoretical light curve for the 1999 outburst of U Scorpii is presented in order to obtain various physical parameters of the recurrent nova. Our U Sco model consists of a very massive white dwarf (WD) with an accretion disk and a…

Using 3D radiation-hydrodynamic simulations and analytic theory, we study the orbital evolution of asymptotic-giant-branch (AGB) binary systems for various initial orbital separations and mass ratios, and thus different initial accretion…

Some binary evolution scenarios to Type Ia supernovae include long-period binaries that evolve to symbiotic supersoft X-ray sources in their late stage of evolution. However, symbiotic stars with steady hydrogen burning on the white dwarf's…

Optical emission from actively accreting X-ray binaries is dominated by X-ray reprocessing on the outer disk. In the regime of supercritical accretion, strong radiation will power a massive wind that is optically thick and nearly spherical,…

We show that the extremely high luminosity of the short-period recurrent nova T Pyx in quiescence can be understood if this system is a wind-driven supersoft x-ray source (SSS). In this scenario, a strong, radiation-induced wind is excited…
