The Intermediate Polars
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
Recently discovered intermediate polars extend the limits of known behaviour. They now fill the range between, and overlap with, nonmagnetic CVs and AM Hers. They have a wide range of asynchronism, a full range of field strengths, and several different accretion modes and pulsation mechanisms. I highlight (i) a puzzle over the symmetry between magnetic poles, (ii) the X-ray spectra, (iii) the similarity with polars, and (iv) the mass of EX Hya.
