... A logarithmic view in mathematics uses a different way of making sequences of numbers. Instead of looking at what happens when you increase from 1 to 2 to 3, you consider instead what happens when you go from 1 to 10 to 100. In the 1, 2, 3 view, the increase is made by adding. The result is an arith ...

A white dwarf in a close binary system can gain substantial amount of mass if the companion is a main-sequence or giant star, giving it a new life. • In these close systems, mass from the other star can be transfer to the white dwarf. • The in-falling matter forms an accretion disk around the white ...
