Intermediate Polars: X-ray Spectra
€X-ray
spectra of Intermediate Polars generally show just the multi-temperature
thermal bremsstrahlung component from the hot radial accretion flow – no
soft reprocessed component from the white dwarf
€Main
explanation is likely to be the larger area over which accretion takes
place, but also photoelectric absorption is important
