Title: Study of Particle Acceleration in Cataclysmic Variables


Proposal ID: 0120253
Subject category: Compact Object
Principal investigator: Terada
Institute: The University of Tokyo


Abstract

In order to understand the particle acceleration processes in compact objects, it is important to detect the gamma ray emission from magnetized rotating white dwarfs, as another physical system of rotating neutron stars. We propose INTEGRAL observation of AE Aqr which is the most possible particle accelerator in white dwarfs, and of AM Her and DQ Her which are the prototype objects of magnetized white dwarfs.
