Some of the most interesting binary stars are close pairings, where one compact component, typically a white dwarf, neutron star or black hole, is accreting mass from the other component, typically a white dwarf, brown dwarf or main-sequence star.
These interacting binary stars, which include Cataclysmic Variables (CVs) and X-ray Binaries, are responsible for some of the most exotic phenomena observed in the Universe, such as Type Ia Supernovae, short Gamma-Ray bursts, millisecond pulsars and micro-quasars.
