Magnitudes of bremsstrahlung and cyclotron cooling from on-axis accretion shocks onto AM-Her systems,

 

Jordan Journal of  Physics, vol. 1, no. 2, pp. 79-87.

 

The article presents a calculation to relative phases and relative magnitudes for bremsstrahlung and cyclotron emissions from radiative accretion shocks onto binary Magnetic CVs (AM-Her systems).  The calculation is carried out for a 0.3 solar mass white dwarf primary star, having a field B*=30MG, and accretion rate of Lacc =3.2x10-3 LEdd.  Here LEdd is the Eddington accretion luminosity.  Individual on-axis accretion funnels are being investigated corresponding to large radii at which field lines strike the equatorial plane (a0=req/R*= 500, 300, 200, 150, 100, and 80).  Results show a relatively low level cyclotron cooling, and thus permit decoupling.
