We analyse the magnetic field geometry of the magnetic DA white dwarf PG1015+014 with our Zeeman tomography method. Methods. This study is based on rotation-phase resolved optical flux and circular polarization spectra of PG1015+014 obtained with FORS1 at the ESO VLT. Our tomographic code makes use of an extensive database of pre-computed Zeeman spectra. The general approach has been described in Papers I and II of this series. Results. The surface field strength distributions for all rotational phases of PG1015+014 are characterised by a strong peak at 70 MG. A separate peak at 80MG is seen for about one third of the rotation cycle. Significant contributions to the Zeeman features arise from regions with field strengths between 50 and 90 MG. We obtain equally good simultaneous fits to the observations, collected in five phase bins, for two different field parametrizations: (i) a superposition of individually tilted and off-centred zonal multipole components; and (ii) a truncated multipole expansion up to degree l = 4 including all zonal and tesseral components. The magnetic fields generated by both parametrizations exhibit a similar global structure of the absolute surface field values, but differ considerably in the topology of the field lines. An effective photospheric temperature of T-eff = 10 000 +/- 1000 K was found. Conclusions. Remaining discrepancies between the observations and our best-fit models suggest that additional small-scale structure of the magnetic field exists which our field models are unable to cover due to the restricted number of free parameters."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1051/0004-6361:20064840"],["dc.identifier.fs","45028"],["dc.identifier.isi","237272100027"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/9385"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/35801"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Edp Sciences S A"],["dc.relation.issn","1432-0746"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Fakultät für Physik"],["dc.title","Zeeman tomography of magnetic white dwarfs - III.

From the wavelength-integrated accretion-induced energy flux, we derive a quiescent accretion luminosity for EX Hya of L-acc = (2.6 +/- 0.6) x 10(32) erg s(-1). The quiescent accretion rate then is. (M) over dot(av) = (6.2 +/- 1.5) x 10(-11)(M-1/0.5 M.)(-1.61) M. yr(-1). The time-averaged accretion rate, which includes a small correction for the rare outbursts, is 6% higher. We discuss the system parameters of EX Hya and deduce M-1 = 0.4-0.7 M., M-2 = 0.07-0.10 M., and i = 76.0degrees - 77.6degrees, using recent radial velocity measurements of both components and restrictions imposed by other observational and theoretical constraints. We conclude that the secondary is undermassive, overluminous, and expanded over a ZAMS star of the same mass. Near the upper limit to M-1, the accretion rate of the white dwarf coincides with that due to near-equilibrium angular momentum loss by gravitational radiation and angular momentum transfer from the orbit into the spin-up of the white dwarf. Near the lower mass limit, the correspondingly higher accretion rate requires that either an additional angular momentum loss process is acting besides gravitational radiation or that accretion occurs on a near-adiabatic time scale. The latter possibility would imply that EX Hya is in a transient phase of high mass transfer and the associated spin-up of the white dwarf."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1051/0004-6361:20031498"],["dc.identifier.isi","000187075500023"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/9807"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/44810"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Edp Sciences S A"],["dc.relation.issn","1432-0746"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Fakultät für Physik"],["dc.title","A precise HST parallax of the cataclysmic variable EX Hydrae, its system parameters, and accretion rate"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]Details DOI WOS
