Scientific paper

We propose to observe one of the brightest polars, QS Tel, with the Chandra LETGS to measure the spectral energy distribution of the accretion-heated photosphere, the depths of the absorption edges, and the depths and widths of the discrete absorption features. These data will be used to constrain the run of temperature with optical depth in the photosphere and hence determine the relative importance of irradiation versus "deep heating" to the energetics of the photosphere. [This proposal was accepted for TOO observations during Cycle 5, but QS Tel has entered a low state, so the proposal is being resubmitted to cover the small chance that the source does not become bright again before the end of the current cycle.]
