Meeting program
Scientific aim
The scientific aims of this meeting are summarized as follows:
- Bring together researchers studying binary star systems containing
an accreting white dwarf (WD) star and those studying systems
with related stellar constituents and physical processes.
- Facilitate discussion that will advance our understanding of
accretion phenomena, constituent star properties, and population
makeup and evolution for both white-dwarf-primary and other
types of accreting stellar systems and their progenitors.
- Use this improved understanding to both direct and exploit ongoing
and near-future observations and surveys.
