Abstract

A model of the accretion column of DQ Herculis binaries was developed, using low values of the magnetic field (≤25 MG). The authors obtain circular polarization <3% and linear polarization <1.5%. These results can be compared with those of Chanmugam and Frank (1987), who only obtained small polarization for high magnetic fields (≥75 MG).
