Using new and published data, we compare the colours of the flickering in cataclysmic variables and symbiotic recurrent novae. We find a difference between the colours of the flickering source in these two types of accreting white dwarfs. The detected difference is highly significant with $ p-value \\approx 2 \\times 10^{-6}$ for the distributions of $(U-B)_0$ colour and $p \\approx 3 \\times 10^{-5}$ on (U-B) versus (B-V) diagram. The possible physical reasons are briefly discussed. The data are available upon request from the authors.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-02-10T09:45:49.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "symbiotic recurrent novae", "optical flickering colours", "cataclysmic variables", "difference", "recurrent novae rs oph" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1002/asna.201412142", "journal": "Astronomische Nachrichten", "year": 2015, "month": "Feb", "volume": 336, "number": 2, "pages": 189 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015AN....336..189Z" } } }
