Recent Advances in X-ray Observations of Cataclysmic Variables
A personal selection of noteworthy X-ray results on CVs are presented, with emphasis on XMM-Newton and Chandra observations. Progressing roughly from broad-band view to narrow-band, high spectral resolution studies, I summarize: the energy balance of polars; X-ray confirmation of IPs; eclipses in non-magnetic CVs; search for magnetism in " non-magnetic " CVs; multi-temperature plasma emission f...
متن کاملNew Observations of Accretion Phenomena in Magnetic Cataclysmic Variables
We present an overview of the ongoing observational, theoretical and modelling work on magnetically controlled accretion phenomena in magnetic cataclysmic variables. With SAAO's high speed polarimeter, HIPPO, we have discovered polarized Quasi-Periodic Oscillations, on a timescale of several minutes. We have investigated various scenarios in which such QPOs can be created, all of them requiring...
متن کاملHard X-ray properties of magnetic cataclysmic variables
Hard X-ray surveys have proven remarkably efficient in detecting intermediate polars and asynchronous polars, two of the rarest type of cataclysmic variable (CV). Here we present a global study of hard X-ray selected intermediate polars and asynchronous polars, focusing particularly on the link between hard X-ray properties and spin/orbital periods. To this end, we first construct a new sample ...
متن کاملThe X-ray Light Curves of Magnetic Cataclysmic Variables with Non-zero Shock Heights
The hard X-ray emitting shocks in magnetic CVs are probably 0.01{0.1 R wd tall. Self occultation of X-ray emitting regions under such shocks must be calculated using a full, three-dimensional geometry: The diierence between the top and the bottom of the shock is substantial in this regard. In this paper, I present the results of crude simulations showing that the non-zero shock height probably ...
متن کاملFar Ultraviolet Spectroscopy of (Non-magnetic) Cataclysmic Variables
HST and FUSE have provided high signal-to-noise, high-resolution spectra of a variety of cataclysmic variables and have allowed a detailed characterization of FUV emission sources in both high and low states. Here, I describe how this has advanced our understanding of non-magnetic CVs and the substantial interpretive challenges still posed by the observations. In the high state, the FUV spectra...
