J-band spectroscopy of cataclysmic variables
... Fig. 4 shows a standard Doppler map of the Paschen-b line in WZ Sge, along with a skew map of WZ Sge, made with Gl866AB. The Doppler map shows faint accretion disc structure, and is dominated by emission from the bright ...

X-rays from Cataclysmic Variables
... The emission measure, EM ∗ , is not a strong function of ˙ M (van Teeseling et al. 1996). It decreases, however, for CVs with higher i. For CVs with i<70 ◦ this cannot be due to obscuration of the X-ray source by ...
