Scientific paper

We analyze the possibility of observational identification of white dwarfs in the state of an ejector. Among the distinctive features of this class of objects are a high rate of rotational energy loss comparable to or higher than the observed luminosity of the object and nonthermal gamma-ray and/or radio spectra. The manifestations of the white dwarf in the close binary system AE Aquarii closely match these criteria. We show that most of the peculiar manifestations of this object in the hard spectral range and the observed pattern of mass transfer in the system can be explained in terms of a model in which the state of the white dwarf is classified as an ejector.
