Nova outbursts and the CV mass transfer rate spectrum
I investigate variations of the mass transfer rate in cataclysmic variables (CVs) induced by nova outbursts. The ballistic ejection of nova shells leads to a spectrum of observed transfer rates in a sample of systems with similar orbital period. I present an analytical model and show that the effect...
