Scientific paper

The Hubeny TLUSTY and SYNSPEC programs have been used in several studies of Nova-like Cataclysmic Variable stars, especially models of their accretion disks. Tabulations of column masses for the individual annuli (which are always optically thick) listed values in disagreement with theoretical models in the literature (e.g., Lasota, 2001, NAR, 45, 449, Fig. 1). The discrepancy arose from an inadequate treatment of convection in TLUSTY (which had been developed with particular attention to radiation-dominated accretion disks). A new version of TLUSTY, developed by Hubeny, corrects the discrepancy and produces an insignificant change in our published conclusions. We illustrate the results for our study of RW Sextantis (Linnell et al., 2010, ApJ,719,271).
