Spun-Up Rotation-Powered Magnetized White Dwarfs in Close Binaries as Possible Gamma-ray Sources: Signatures of Pulsed Modulation from AE Aquarii and AR Scorpii in Fermi-LAT Data

Spun-Up Rotation-Powered Magnetized White Dwarfs in Close Binaries as Possible Gamma-ray Sources: Signatures of Pulsed Modulation from AE Aquarii and AR Scorpii in Fermi-LAT Data

In this paper, the possibility of periodic pulsar-like gamma-ray emission from the white dwarfs in AE Aquarii and AR Scorpii is investigated. We show that the white dwarf magnetospheres in AE Aquarii and AR Scorpii can possibly induce potentials to accelerate charged particles to energies in excess...
