The Hϒ Line Spectrum of Intermediate Polars
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 August 2015
Extract
By using of a model for the propagation of the emitted X-rays through the infalling material and the reemission of the energy deposited by photoabsorption in the optical (and UV) spectral range (Kim & Beuermann, 1995) we calculated Hϒ line spectrum of intermediate polars. Photoabsorption of X-rays by the infalling material is the dominant process in forming the observed energy-dependent rotational modulation of the X-ray flux. X-ray and optical modulations are sensitive to model parameters in different ways. In principle these dependences allow us to obtain improved insight into the geometry of intermediate polars. Some results of our calculation will be presented in this paper in comparison with the Hβ spectrum calculated by Kim & Beuermann (1996).
