SIGNS OF WIND IN UV SPECTRA

P Cyg profiles of C IV, N V or Si IV lines are an evidence of mass loss from CVs.

SIGNS OF WIND IN UV SPECTRA

The line profiles are strongly dependent on the orbital inclination:

Low to intermediate Inclination: Absorption to P Cyg.

High inclination: Emission profiles.

COMPARISON WITH MONTE-CARLO METHODS

Puebla et al. 2011

The Monte-Carlo models generate larger high ionized regions. This bears stronger lines for C IV and NV

EFFECT OF ACCELERATION IN PHOTOSPHEREWIND INTERFACE ON LINES

Acceleration in the photospherewind interface has strong effects on photosphere lines like C II (1335)

CONCLUSIONS

The model treat the photosphere and the photosphere-wind interface consistently The model cannot treat the non-local interaction between disk and wind It is necessary to improve the models to lead them to a at least 2D approximation
