Radiation Hydrodynamics and Soft X-Ray Emission of Accreting Magnetic White Dwarfs
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
Observed cyclotron spectra of AM Herculis binaries imply a large range of mass flow rates in the accretion spot on the white dwarf. We derive this ṁ–distribution for the case of UZ For. For AM Her stars with different field strength B, such a distribution is shifted in ṁ proportional to B. This fact can account for the observed dominance of bremsstrahlung at low B and of quasi-blackbody emission at high B values.
