Computer Modeling the Line of Sight Column Densities of Polars
... Polars are a type of CV that has a strong magnetic field around 100 million times earths magnetic field. The plasma is not allowed to form an accretion disc because it follows the magnetic field lines. The stream takes a more direct path toward the white dwarf. The high speeds of the impacting parti ...
