Scientific paper

We present calculations of cyclotron emission from stratified accretion shocks for different accretion rates (and hence shock heights), magnetic fields and white-dwarf masses. Our calculations aim to provide models to explain photopolarimetric and spectroscopic observations of magnetic cataclysmic variables. We have shown that the continuum and harmonic structures of cyclotron emission from stratified shocks are different from those of models assuming constant temperature and density, and that the spectral properties of the emission depend strongly on the shock structures.
