Measuring the density structure of an accretion hot spot

Magnetospheric accretion models predict that matter from protoplanetary disks accretes onto stars via funnel flows, which follow stellar magnetic field lines and shock on the stellar surfaces(1–3), leaving hot spots with density gradients(4–6). Previous work has provided observational evidence of va...
