Magnetic fields of accreting white dwarfs

OSTI ID:6988628
The accretion-disk spinup of magnetized white dwarfs in cataclysmic binary systems is discussed. A model approach yields the magnetic dipole moment and maximum possible spinup and spindown rates for eight such objects in systems of DQ Her type or intermediate between these and the stronger-field AM Her binaries. 55 references.
