Propellers — A New Class of Interacting Binaries
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 May 2016
Abstract
CH Cyg and MWC 560 are very peculiar symbiotic binaries consisting of an M giant and a white-dwarf companion. The systems have many features in common. In particular, both show occasional eruptions with sub-Eddington luminosity accompanied by flickering activity, and appearance of high-velocity jets. We present arguments that objects like CH Cyg and MWC 560 form a new subclass of interacting binaries distinguished by the presence of wind accreting magnetic white dwarfs.
