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.
