Scientific paper

A model for AM Herculis in which the X-radiation, optical radiation, and polarized optical radiation arise in a single accretion column is presented. The coincidence of the primary optical minimum with the standstill in the fractional circular polarization and the X-ray maximum is explained as caused by cyclotron self-absorption. The relationship of AM Her to VV Puppis and AN Ursae Majoris is briefly discussed.
