Ef-Eridani - Structure of the X-Ray Lightcurve
Abstract
The authors present EXOSAT observations of the AM Her system EF Eri made on 1983 November 29 which cover over three cycles of the 81 minute binary period. They discuss the structure of the X-ray light curve in terms of the present understanding of the geometry of the accretion flow and accretion column in AM Her systems.
