New insights from inside-out Doppler tomography [SSA]

http://arxiv.org/abs/1503.04637


We present preliminary results from our investigation into using an ‘inside-out’ velocity space for creating a Doppler tomogram. The aim is to transpose the inverted appearance of the Cartesian velocity space used in normal Doppler tomography. In a comparison between normal and inside-out Doppler tomograms of cataclysmic variables, we show that the inside-out velocity space has the potential to produce new insights into the accretion dynamics in these systems.
