Intermediate polars in the <i>Swift</i>/BAT survey: spectra and white dwarf masses
<i>Context. <i/>White dwarf masses in cataclysmic variables are difficult to determine accurately, but are fundamental for understanding binary system parameters, as well as binary evolution.<i>Aims. <i/>We investigate the X-ray spectral properties of a sample of Intermediate Polars (IP) detected above 15 keV to derive the masses of their accreting white …
