Scientific paper

We examine the available spectra of cataclysmic variables that have been obtained using the Chandra HETG grating with a focus on describing optical depth effects in the emission lines. The data consist of β and α transitions of O VIII, Ne X, Mg XI, Mg XII, and Si XIV. We compare the observed β/α ratios to theoretical predictions obtained using the APED to test whether the emission lies in the optically thin regime.
