X-ray emission from intermediate polars and open clusters

We have implemented a full 3-dimensional model to generate the X-ray lightcurves and spectra of intermediate polars using the traditional accretion curtain model as a basis. The model constitutes an improvement over previous works because it includes the effects of tall, structured accretion columns...
