ON A SITE OF X-RAY EMISSION IN AE AQUARII

摘要

An analysis of recently reported results of XMM-Newton observations of AE Aqr within a hypothesis that the detected X-ray source is located inside the Roche lobe of the white dwarf is presented. I show this hypothesis to be inconsistent with the currently adopted model of mass transfer in the system. Possible solutions of this problem are briefly discussed.
