EUVE observations of the magnetic cataclysmic variable QQ Vulpeculae.

Abstract (from CDS):

We present simultaneous X-ray (λpeak∼44 Å) and EUV (λpeak=89 Å) light curves for the magnetic cataclysmic variable QQ Vulpeculae, obtained with the EUVE satellite. We find that the unique shape of the X-ray light curve is different from previously obtained X-ray light curves of QQ Vul and provides evidence for two-pole accretion. Detailed examination of the photometric data indicates that QQ Vul undergoes a stellar eclipse of the X-ray-emitting region, indicative of a high binary inclination. We discuss possible implications for the nature of this system given the observed shape of its EUV and X-ray light curves.
