Polarized Radiation from Inhomogeneous Accretion Columns in AM Herculis Binaries
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
The polarization of radiation emitted by inhomogeneous accretion columns is found to be significantly different from homogeneous columns. A good fit to the V-band circular polarization light curve of EF Eri is obtained using the two-core model with temperature &T=15keV, magnetic field B=26MG, and dimensionless plasma parameter Λ ≤ 106.
