The rms-flux relation in accreting white dwarfs: another nova-like variable and the first dwarf nova
The rms-flux relation in accreting white dwarfs: another nova-like variable and the first dwarf nova
We report on the detection of the linear rms-flux relation in two
accreting white dwarf binary systems: V1504 Cyg and KIC 8751494. The
rms-flux relation relates the absolute root-mean-square (rms)
variability of the light curve to its mean flux. The light curves
analysed were obtained with the Kepler satellite at a 58.8 s cadence.
The rms-flux relation was previously detected in only one other
cataclysmic variable (CV), MV Lyr. This result reinforces the ubiquity
of the linear rms-flux relation as a characteristic property of
accretion-induced variability, since it has been observed in several
black hole binaries, neutron star binaries and active galactic nuclei.
Moreover, its detection in V1504 Cyg is the first time the rms-flux
relation has been detected in a dwarf nova-type CV during quiescence.
This result, together with previous studies, hence points towards a
common physical origin of accretion-induced variability, independent of
the size, mass or type of the central accreting compact object.

Abstract
We report on the detection of the linear rms-flux relation in two
accreting white dwarf binary systems: V1504 Cyg and KIC 8751494. The
rms-flux relation relates the absolute root-mean-square (rms)
variability of the light curve to its mean flux. The light curves
analysed were obtained with the Kepler satellite at a 58.8 s cadence.
The rms-flux relation was previously detected in only one other
cataclysmic variable (CV), MV Lyr. This result reinforces the ubiquity
of the linear rms-flux relation as a characteristic property of
accretion-induced variability, since it has been observed in several
black hole binaries, neutron star binaries and active galactic nuclei.
Moreover, its detection in V1504 Cyg is the first time the rms-flux
relation has been detected in a dwarf nova-type CV during quiescence.
This result, together with previous studies, hence points towards a
common physical origin of accretion-induced variability, independent of
the size, mass or type of the central accreting compact object.
