Hellier 1999

Bibinfo (this paper at ADS)
Hellier, C. 1999, ApJ 519, 324-331.
Type
Observational: Spin tomography of IPs.
Object(s)
FO Aqr, V1025 Cen, BG CMi, PQ Gem, EX Hya, V2400 Oph, and AO Psc.
Results
Spin tomography (of H-beta and/or HeII 4696) shows upper curtain emissions only in AO Psc, FO Aqr, and BG CMi; the emission is azimuthally extended, and predominantly at low velocities (i.e., the outer parts). PQ Gem has emission lines from both curtains, with an unusual phasing. Two curtains are probably seen in V2400 Oph. In EX Hya, and also probably in V1025 Cen, the emission lines are formed closer in, in both curtains. General caution: tomography can't handle line intensity changes (i.e., optically thick lines).
