White Dwarf Masses In Intermediate Polars Determined From X-ray Spectra.

Summary by quantumzeitgeist.com
Analysis of hard X-ray spectra from 47 intermediate polars reveals an average white dwarf mass of 0.82 solar masses, validating current models of magnetospheric radii and accretion column geometry for high-luminosity systems, though accurate mass determination for low-luminosity IPs necessitates individual accretion column modelling due to potentially elevated column heights and deviations from established mass-radius relations.
