Cyclotron emission from AM Herculis
Abstract
The cyclotron absorption coefficients in the ordinary and extraordinary modes are calculated for the shock heated region of AM Her. The equations of radiative transfer are solved and the intensity of the emitted UV radiation determined as a function of angle. The average spectrum is shown to have deviations from the previously predicted Rayleigh-Jeans spectrum and the magnetic field of AM Her is deduced to be roughly 5 x 10 to the 7th power gauss.
