A model for the Centaurus X-3 phenomenon.
Abstract
Description of a model for Cen X-3 according to which the X-ray emission comes from an atmosphere heated by shock waves produced by surface pulsations of a white dwarf. This model can explain the luminosity, period, and spectrum of Cen X-3. The way in which these quantities vary with pulsation period and amplitude is discussed.
