X-Ray Emission and the Winds of Cataclysmic Variables
Abstract
The author summarizes the observed changes in the X-ray and UV continuum and spectral features through the outbursts of the dwarf novae. Then he discusses how the modeling of these data has refined our ideas about the location and nature of the emissions, and the source of the outburst. He then compares X-ray and UV properties of cataclysmic variables with similar phenomena in other astronomical systems.
