A radiation model for cataclysmic variables
Abstract
A simplified black-body radiation model is used to calculate the contributions of the various components of CVs to the observed radiation. The results show that the model can fit most observations well and thus provide an interpretation of the statistical properties of CVs obtained in a previous paper.
