| Abstract: |
We present a new method for modelling the accretion stream emission in AM Herculis systems based on eclipse profiles. In our approach we model the accretion stream as a collection of light emitting particles (i.e. ``fireflies''). The shape and location of the stream is found by means of genetic optimization. |
