Flickering in Cataclysmic Variables: Inventory and Perspectives
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
Stochastic variations on short time scales called flickering are a characteristic feature in the light curves of CVs. Their amplitudes indicate that their origin must be related to one of the principle light sources of these systems. But the physical mechanism behind the flickering is unknown. New attempts to quantify the properties of flickering are presented, and a consistent scenario for its origin is outlined.
