Similarity concepts and scaling laws of the accreted column in magnetic cataclysmic variables: The POLAR project
Abstract
In this paper we present the similarity properties and scaling laws of the accreted column in magnetic cataclysmic variables. To model this astrophysical object, two radiating regimes have been explored and
different classes of scaling laws have been obtained.- Publication:
