| 内容記述 | Extensive soft X-ray (0.1-1.5 keV) observations of AM Herculis are reported. The data, acquired during two pointed observations by HEAO 1 in 1978, span four binary cycles and reveal considerable detail in the 3.09 hour light curve. Rapid X-ray flickering is evident throughout the bright section of the light curve and is characterized by an average e-folding autocorrelation time of about 10 s. Analysis of the spectral data indicates a 30% variability; on occasion the X-ray spectrum becomes softer as the source intensity decreases. The current understanding of AM Her as an accreting magnetic white dwarf is discussed, and various models are related to the present HEAO-1 data. |
