Flares at the second pole of AM Herculis in its anomalous state. Shown are the mean mass accretion rate and temperature of the individual flares against the emitting fraction of the WD surface (left panels), and against the mass of the accreting blob (right panels). Although Ṁ and kT are strongly dependent on the size of the emitting area, they appear to be independent of the mass of the infalling blob.
