Oblique MHD shock near the surface of young stars

The dependence of the spectrum of a hot spot at the surface of accreting young stars on the angle at which the material falls onto the star is considered. For typical parameters of T Tauri stars the structure of the shock at oblique incidence has been found to be no different from its structure at normal incidence, but at the same time the inclination, along with the gas density and velocity, is shown to be an independent accretion parameter the changes in which lead to noticeable changes in the hot-spot spectrum.
