The Spin Periods and Magnetic Moments of White Dwarfs in Magnetic Cataclysmic Variables

The Spin Periods and Magnetic Moments of White Dwarfs in Magnetic Cataclysmic Variables

We have used a model of magnetic accretion to investigate the rotational equilibria of magnetic cataclysmic variables (mCVs). The results of our numerical simulations demonstrate that there is a range of parameter space in the Pspin/Porb versus μ1 plane at which rotational equilibrium occurs. This has allowed us to calculate …
