Illustration of the expected individual line profiles for Fe Kα fluorescent lines arising from illumination of the material in the accretion flow. The Alfvén radius, R_A, was taken to be 20 R_* = 0.2 R_⊙. The different lines correspond to different azimuthal rotation angles of the magnetosphere. The observer is located in the direction corresponding to the positive (x, z) plane and seeing the system under an inclination of i = 45°. The WD is located at the origin of the axes. The line colours correspond to orientations of the accretion flow located inside the positive (x, z) plane (continuous red line), the (y, z) plane (dashed black line), and the negative (x, z) plane (short dashed blue line).
