the explanation of the 2 to 3 hour gap in cataclysmic variable orbital periods as magnetic braking switching off when the donor star becomes fully convective.

In astrophysics, disrupted magnetic braking refers to the explanation of the 2 to 3 hour gap in cataclysmic variable orbital periods as magnetic braking switching off when the donor star becomes fully convective. This meaning comes from Rappaport (1983) in The Astrophysical Journal.[1]
