CVs in Globular Clusters: Clues to Compact Binary Production
Chapter
Abstract
Cataclysmic variables (CVs) ought to be the most numerous compact binaries in globular clusters, given standard theories for their formation by capture or exchange and the large excess of white dwarfs over neutron stars expected in globulars. Yet their numbers thus far detected are vastly surpassed by the numbers of either Low Mass X-ray Binaries (LMXBs) or their possible successors, millisecond pulsars (MSPs). Where are the cluster CVs? Here we briefly describe both the previous detections and limits, the ongoing searches and several observations of LMXBs which may relate to the cluster CV enigma.
