Adiabatic Mass Loss in Binary Stars - I. Computational Method
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors model the response of a donor star to very rapid mass loss, characterized by adiabatic expansion throughout their interiors, and show that the change in total energy of the donor star can be calculated either by integration over initial and final models, or by a path integral along the mass loss sequence.

Observations and theory of cataclysmic variables: On progress and problems in understanding dwarf novae and nova-like stars
TL;DR: In this paper, the observed properties of dwarf novae and non-magnetic nova-like stars are reviewed and the implications for the physical properties and possible models of the systems are pointed out.

Outburst period–energy relations in cataclysmic novae

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the behavior of SS Cygni is in close agreement with theoretical predictions of dynamically unstable states of the red star when it fills the Roche-lobe, and is in conflict with the assumptions of early disk instability models.

High and low states of the system AM Herculis
TL;DR: In this paper, the distribution of optically high and low states of the system AM Herculis (AM Her) was investigated, and the state duty cycles, and their relationships with the mass transfer process and binary orbital evolution were determined using the photographic plate archive of the Harvard College Observatory between 1890 and 1953 and visual observations collected by the American Association of Variable Star Observers between 1978 and 2005.
