Physics of Cataclysmic Variable Investigated by X-ray Spectroscopic Observation |
| A cataclysmic variable is comprised of two stars and changes its brightness drastically. Among the many mysteries of cataclysmic variables are the nature of the accretion disk and the boundary layer formed between the stars. These mysteries are being elucidated by recent, advanced X-ray spectroscopic observations including those by the X-ray astronomical satellite SUZAKU now in service.
