Multiwavelength observations of accreting binary systems

CVs are interacting binaries accreting through Roche lobe overflow. The main motivation of this thesis is to enhance our understanding of accretion disc physics, and in particular, the mechanism producing X-rays in these and in other accreting objects. This thesis comprises four case studies. Two of...
