... About ATNF overview . ... Parkes radio telescope . ... Saxton & Wu (1999) presented calculations of the stability of the accretion shock which forms on the surface of an accreting magnetic white dwarf in AM Herculis type systems in an attempt to explain the observed properties of the quasi periodic oscillations sometimes seen in these systems. He showed that radiative cooling may cause thermal instability in the post-shock structure of the accretion flow settling onto a magnetic white dwarf. ...
