Scientific paper
Recurrent soft x-ray transient sources and dwarf novae have many remarkably similar observational properties. Both classes of cataclysmic variables are thought to be composed of close binaries with one component filling its Roche lobe. These systems undergo considerable luminosity variation on the timescale ranging from weeks to months. The outburst properties in both classes can be adequately described in terms of a model in which the outbursts are regulated by the same basic physical mechanism, i.e., a thermal instability associated with the partially ionized regions of an accretion disk around a compact accreting component of the close binary system. In this contribution, we show how observational properties obtained in these two classes of cataclysmic variables may be combined to provide an understanding of the nature of the outbursts.
