Dwarf novae are a subclass of cataclysmic variable stars in which a late-type secondary fills its Roche lobe and transfers mass to a white dwarf primary via an accretion disc. ... Those spiral structures are very similar to the spiral shocks discovered by Sawada, Matsuda & Hachisu (1986) in 2D finite difference numerical simulations in accretion discs. In this poster, we want to compare 2D numerical simulations of accretion disc with the observations of SH2 . ...

In this paper, we re-examine the close binary scenario allowing for the possibility of late development of accretion disks in the collapsar model and investigate the available range of mass accretion rates, black hole masses, and spins. We find that the black hole mass can be much higher than 2-3 Msun, usually assumed in the collapsar model, and normally exceeds half of the presupernova mass. ...
