%K X-ray emission, Magnetic Cataclysmic Variables.
%X The X-ray emission in magnetic cataclysmic variables is mainly due to an optically thin bremsstrahlung from the post-shock region. The observed flux of some systems shows variations along the orbital motion, which can be explained by phase-dependent absorption and/or occultation of the emitting regions. Two emitting regions can also play a role on these modulations. In this work, we explore these phase-dependent effects on the continuum emission of mCVs using CYCLOPS-X. This code calculates these effects self-consistently with the 3D geometry of the accretion column, limited by the lines of a dipolar magnetic field.
