» White dwarfs masses estimation in IP from INTEGRAL/IBIS
Presentation duration: 30 minutes
Presenter: Matus Kocka
INTEGRAL/IBIS is a very powerful instrument for high energy astrophysics. One of the most interesting high energy sources from the Galaxy are intermediate polars and polars. By using spectra from IBIS/ISGRI is possible to determine masses of the white dwarfs in this systems. Determining of WD masses in IP is not a trivial task for astrophysics and this method allows us to establish it according to temperature measurements of the shock region on the poles of WD.
