I use two-dimensional axisymmetric numerical simulations of star-disk
magnetospheric interaction to construct a three-dimensional model of hot spots
on the star created by infalling accretion columns. The intensity of emitted
radiation is computed with minimal assumptions, as seen by observers at
infinity from the different angles. In the illustrative examples, shown is a
change in the intensity curve with changes in the geometry of the model, and
also a change in results with modification in the physical parameters in the
simulation.
