On a Site of X-ray Emission in AE Aquarii
arXiv:astro-ph/0602215 · doi:10.1086/503288
Abstract
An analysis of recently reported results of XMM-Newton observations of AE Aqr within a hypothesis that the detected X-ray source is located inside the Roche lobe of the white dwarf is presented. I show this hypothesis to be inconsistent with the currently adopted model of mass-transfer in the system. Possible solutions of this problem are briefly discussed.
