We investigate the hydrodynamics of accretion channelled by a dipolar magnetic field (funnel flows). We consider situations in which the electrons and ions in the flow cannot maintain thermal equilibrium (two-temperature effects) due to strong radiative loss, and determine the effects on the keV X-ray properties of the systems. We apply this model to investigate the accretion shocks of white dwarfs in magnetic cataclysmic variables. We have found that the incorporation of two-temperature effects could harden the keV X-rays. Also, the dipolar model yields harder X-ray spectra than the standard planar model if white dwarf is sufficiently massive (>~1M_sun). When fitting observed keV X-ray spectra of magnetic cataclysmic variables, the inclusion of two-temperature hydrodynamics and a dipolar accretion geometry lowers estimates for white-dwarf masses when compared with masses inferred from models excluding these effects. We find mass reductions <~9% in the most massive cases.
We use a two-temperature hydrodynamical formulation to determine the temperature and density structures of the post-shock accretion flows in magnetic cataclysmic variables (mCVs) and calculate the corresponding X-ray spectra. The effects of two-tempe
Structures of X-ray emitting magnetic polar regions on neutron stars in X-ray pulsars are studied in a range of the accretion rate, 10$^{17}$ g s$^{-1} sim 10^{18}$ g s$^{-1}$. It is shown that a thin but tall, radiation energy dominated, X-ray emitt
We study properties of an accretion ring in a steady mass flow from a companion star to a compact object in an X-ray binary. The accretion ring is a place where matter inflowing from a companion star sojourns for a while to bifurcate to accretion and
Interacting binaries in which a white dwarf accretes material from a companion - cataclysmic variables (CVs) in which the mass donor is a Roche-lobe filling star on or near the main sequence, and symbiotic stars in which the mass donor is a late type
(abridged) We review how the recent increase in X-ray and radio data from black hole and neutron star binaries can be merged together with theoretical advances to give a coherent picture of the physics of the accretion flow in strong gravity. Both lo
