Radio Emission from Cataclysmic Variables
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
The study of radio emission from cataclysmic variables (CVs) is a new and developing field. Radio emission from novae, recurrent novae, dwarf novae and each of the subclasses (AM Her and OQ Her) of magnetic CVs have now been reported and are reviewed here. These observations are shown to provide, in general, a probe of the structure of the CV on length scales typically ≳1011cm. Radiation mechanisms, both incoherent and coherent, relevant to the observed radio emission are also discussed. These suggest that the red dwarf in AM Her and DQ Her is also magnetized and provides support for theories for the evolution of CVs which require a magnetized secondary star.
